On the cycling trip we just did a lap of the island, although we bailed off the ring road on the last day's ride into Reykjavik as the driving standards was just too sketchy and it was too nerve-wracking. We headed off cross-country to the thermal power station and followed the supply pipe all the way into Reykjavik, which was actually a really good day's riding.
On the driving trip, which was many years ago, I think we headed east from Reykjavik, around the Golden Circle (Þingvellir, Landmannalaugar, lots of waterfalls with names ending in Floss), then headed up through the middle of the island to Akureyri, then around the eastern end of the island stopping off in Egilsstaðir at a very nice hotel with an excellent restaurant, then back via the Glacier Lagoon. It was a very long time ago though - 12 years ago, I think. There was one really good day's driving up to a glacier. It was a bit sketchy in a Hyundai Santa Fe - we stopped off so @Cycliste could put a brew on, and a huge group of serious off-roaders came the other way which turned out to be the annual tour of some offroad magazine - but I can't remember for the life of me which glacier it was.
Oh, and we did go to the Blue Lagoon. We didn't know any better at the time.
You mean the car?
