Around the Ring Road in Five Days

"Around the Ring Road in five days." A large part of the trip planning for Iceland involved me googling that phrase every other day. I needed validation (repeatedly) that it could be done. It turned out to be the perfect amount of time for us -- plus two nights in Reykjavik.

The Ring Road goes all a way around the island, connecting the major towns and sites. We went around counter-clockwise, staying at farmer's guesthouses, gaping at the sites and eating at N1 gas stations along the way.

Colorful Reykjavik!
