Ten days in Iceland is just enough to make it around the country’s famous Ring Road. This overview goes over the basics of our trip.

Iceland's Ring Road - Hvolsvöllur to Seyðisfjörður (Day 4)

Waving goodbye to the cute cottage that was our temporary home and to the Icelandic sheep that dotted the fields and played in the roads, we prepared ourselves for a long day of driving with a number of stops along the way.

Iceland's Ring Road - Seyðisfjörður (Days 4-5)

We were poised to love Seyðisfjörður, population 700, from the moment we saw it from high up on the mountain road. The town is quaint, walkable, and has the best setting on the water with the ring of peaks surrounding it.
