Very crowded and slow ride on rings road. We caught the northern lights in March, and it was very busy then. Be patient, the speed limits are very low. Enjoy the land of fire and ice.
OT: Heading to Iceland next week.....

Thanks. We take off in just over an hour and I think the traffic will be somewhat lighter than in May. At least I hope it is.
This may be a little late, but this was my TR on TA.

We did a lot of what you did (including stopping at the Kronan in Selfoss on day 1) but there’s no way I can post a recap in such detail. I will say that we absolutely LOVED Iceland and had the Best. Weather. Ever! Every Icelander we spoke with said they basically had their entire summer last week (sunny in the upper 69s/low 70s most days). We just got home, but I’ll try and post a summary of our journey on the Ring Road after I take a much needed nap.This may be a little late, but this was my TR on TA.

My favorite stop was Sigöldugljúfur (pic below), which is about 1.5 hours off Hwy 1. The last few km were on an F road (gravel road on which only 4 wheel drive vehicles are allowed).
Also got this candy (below) in an N1 gas station. The rum is real!

We all need to see pics of hot Icelandic babes! Don’t tell us you went there and got none!
Sorry, but my wife put the kibosh on me taking pics of hot Icelandic babes
. Seriously…There were some, but not like in Norway or Sweden.
Yes, and it was the best thing we did. You’ll need a 4 wheel drive since it’s off an F road, and there are a few other falls in the vicinity. The road gets a bit gnarly as you get close to the parking area, but it’s totally doable. Another worthwhile place in the south is Thorsmork NP. We did a superjeep tour since I don’t trust my ability to drive across those rivers. Expensive, but worth it.
Was that gelato place in Reykjavik?This may be a little late, but this was my TR on TA.

Not the OP, but I just returned from Iceland on Monday (and have been to Greece and Ireland, as well). Three very different places, so it really depends on what you’re looking for. Hit me up with any questions and I’ll do my best to answer them for ya.
