Without any knowledge about this island we begun to plan our trip. Travel guides were rare and travel agencies knew only a few things. After combining those resources we managed to plan a 9 days trip.
Day 1: Switzerland to Reykjavik
Day 2: Thingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss, Bifröst
Day 3: Blönduos, Varmahlid, Saudarkrokur
Day 4: Akureyri, Godafoss, Myvatn, Krafla, Laugar
Day 5: Husavik, Asbirgy, Dettifoss, Egilsstadir
Day 6: Djupivogur, Hofn
Day 7: Jokulsarlon, Skaftafell, Vik
Day 8: Dyrholaey, Reynisfjara, Reykjavik
Day 9: Reykjavik to Switzerland.
Very little tourism, rare hotels (or schools)… it was a dream. The ring road had a hard surface only near towns.
