More Langeland walking - and onward to Femø

Yesterday, we wanted to do part of the 'Archipelago' trail, a walking train that goes around South Funen and Langeland. There is a section between Rudkøbing and Spodsbjerg which is 15KM, just right for a half day's walk. We wanted to take a bus to Rudkøbing and then walk back, but there is no 'normal' bus service. What you do is you call the bus company and tell them you want to use the 11am bus (there actually is a schedule). They will then send a vehicle that is the right size for the number of takers at that time. Or of course if there are no takers, they don't send a bus. Seems quite sensible for a very quiet route like this. In our case there were 4 passengers, so they sent a taxi!

We had been in Rudkøbing before, there is not a lot so see or do, its main claim to fame is that HC Oerstedt, who discovered electromagnetism. was born here (and was originally taught by the local hat maker). His statue is in one of the squares:

The walk back to Spodsbjerg was very nice. We came through a village called Tullebølle, which has a nice church. Apparently there are several special features inside the church, but it was locked which is very unusual for Danish churches.

This morning we covered the 24 miles to Femø, an island between Sealand and Langeland where we have been several times and which we like a lot. We have never been here this early in the season and have never seen it this quiet:

Only six boats, three danish, two German and us. As I write this, two more have arrived (one dutch, one German).

The weather is predicted to be nice an stable the coming days, with not much wind. Ideal for us! The plan is to go to Vordingborg tomorrow and then Klintholm on Wednesday.
