Next head to Budir Church for a photo op and then to Londrangar. It's about 20 minutes driving to each.

Búðakirkja, also known as the Black Church of Búðir, is a charming little church located on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Nestled amidst stunning landscapes, it’s famous for its striking black exterior that contrasts beautifully with the surrounding nature. The church was built in 1987, but it stands on the site of an older church that dates back to the 1700s. This is a classic spot in Iceland and it was impressive how many people were there to photograph it. I (Stephen) really liked it, but Giselle did think it was overhyped, so do with that what you will. I still recommend stopping since its a super fun area and it's only about 2 minutes off the main road.
