I am looking for some suggestions on what might be the best bases to use while touring the “Title” regions and how many nights one should plan to stay in each. We are plan to go late June/early July, 8 days/8 nights before leaving on day 9. . We want to drive less and get out and see/do more hence not doing whole ring road our first trip. I am thinking we will drive to Snaefellsnes Peninsula on Day 1 as we get in to Reykjavík at 6:30AM. Stay 2-3 nights in Grundarfjorthur? And then on to the southern areas for the rest of our time including: Thingvellir National Park, the Golden Circle and then beaches, waterfalls, glaciers, etc on way to Hofn before turning back to Reykjavík. We like to self tour, hike, sightsee, and eat local. We should probably plan to be within a reasonable drive to the KEF airport for our last night before our flight home around 4:45PM the next day (Day 9). Suggestions for what to do the morning before our flight out would be appreciated too. We hope to hit a hot spring pool or two during our travels rather than right before flying home. Thanks!
