More tea, Wesley?

How about an abbreviated Iceland itinerary for a long layover coming or going to Europe? Those cheap Europe flights are pretty tempting plus the opportunity to check out Iceland.

Reading this thread it seems to be a few days of Reykjavik + 1 or 2 days of the Golden Circle.

Just did this in July, as a stopover on our way to London from Washington DC. We arrived late at night on 6 July (still sunny of course, with the 23 hours of daylight at the moment), and left early morning on 9 July.

On our first full day we drove the Golden Circle, which was excellent. On our second we went to the Blue Lagoon in the morning and explored some of Reykjavik in the afternoon.

It was a fantastic couple of days and we never would have thought about visiting Iceland if it wasn't for the airline stopover programme.

Edit: Our exploration of Reykjavik was limited to going to the top of Hallgrímskirkja for views of the town and walking up and down the street with all the souvenir shops looking for presents for our family members. I wondered if we were missing something crucial at the time, we didn't do a whole lot of research beforehand, but it seems not?

We used Blue Car Rental on a Tripadvisor recommendation. They were great to deal with and we had no issues.

You missed the penis museum.

Dang, I guess we have to go back after all. Such hardship!
