Iceland 2010

A collection of posts from my trip around Iceland with my son and my brother in May 2010.

Our general plan is to take a 4×4 vehicle around the island.  Starting from Reykjavik will drive clockwise around the island.  We will drive to Blonduos, Akureyri, Egilsstadir, Höfn, Kirkjubaejarklaustur and then back to Reykjavik.

We planned our trip prior to the recent volcano eruptions.  So we have had to track the information closely.  Here are some websites we check each morning:
