3 Jun 2017 - Iceland Day 9: Lunch at Blönduós

We arrived at Blönduós around lunch time.  Jerlene and Javier requested for their favourite pizza again.

After lunch, we drove over to a Parish Church with a distinctive look.  The church was designed by Dr. Maggi Jónsson, who used paradigms from the surrounding natural environment for inspiration to the look and form of the church.

Blönduós, which means the mouth of the river Blanda, is one of the busiest tourist stops in Iceland. It does not have a good harbour, but the settlement's main role is as a dairy service centre for the surrounding farm areas.

As we still had a long drive ahead of us, we did not spend too much time exploring this town.
