A photographic travel journal

Recently my wife and I traveled to Iceland to experience everything the country has to offer. We spent 6 days, and a total of 48 hours in combined driving time exploring everything we possibly could. We decided to rent a car, and see how far we could get. We researched a ton of the popular spots before arriving, and we also made heavy use out of the “drive it yourself” guides posted on the I Heart Reykjavik website (without which we wouldn’t have seen nearly the amount we did). I highly recommend checking out their website and their guides if you are going yourself. I’ve posted my own map below detailing the sights we were able to hit, along with some of the food/shopping we were most impressed with. Following that are more pictures than you can shake a stick at.
