An overview of my trip to Iceland to see Reykjavik and hike the Laugavegur trail – my day planning Reykjavik/Laugavegur trip.
Update: because of the bad weather on the trail I had to change my plans (see my extensive post on hiking the trail here): I could not hike on Monday, so walked Landmannalaugar to Emstrur on Tuesday and Emstrur to Skogar on Wednesday. I additionally decided to book a night at a hotel on the last night to make sure my tent was all dried up.
