Thames River ride out to Greenwich was a great way to see the city all at once. Plus I got to see a yellow wag tail, and a Peregrine Falcon on the ride. I also highly recommend seeing Shakespeare at the globe. We went 7 years ago and are still talking about the performance.

we love "open"
I'm not sure why people try to do the GC in one day - it's technically possible but Þingvellir and Geysir both can take a lot of time if you give over to it. We booked an AirBnB in Flúðir for the evening of our GC trip, then got up the next morning hiked the nearby Tarn and crashed the Secret Lagoon there before driving back to Reyk. Was absolutely worth the hike/bath combo and good call on the Flúðir baths since they're more representative of the local hot spring culture in Iceland.
check out Efstidalur II for lunch on the GC - if you can swing seating you can eat a burger from the second floor while looking into the cowbarn while watching the cows get fed - eat a cow while watching the cows - then get ice cream before hitting Geysir
p sure they've reopened the Blue Lagoon, any reason you're not going? it's worth a trip once imo.
when yr in Reyk defs do Skál! (or any of the Hlemmur food hall spots)
with yr two open days are you looking to do more outdoors stuff or more foodie/drinky/indoor stuff
