Itinerary
The plan was simple: rent a small camper in Reykjavík, drive Route 1 clockwise, and let the weather decide the schedule. It mostly did.
Highlights below the fold — the full day-by-day is in the journal entries, and every photo that didn't fit here is in the Drive album.

Chasing waterfalls on Route 1
Skógafoss, Seljalandsfoss, and the unnamed ones that turned out to be the best ones.
