<\/a><\/p>\nWe had to stop and take some photos.\u00a0 Kim wore the appropriate shirt today!<\/p>\n
The city of Svendborg is gorgeous at night!<\/p>\n Even the dessert that night was gorgeous!\u00a0 This was at Restaurant Resume<\/a><\/strong>, the cities best restaurant set in an old church.\u00a0 Well worth it if you find yourself in Svendborg.<\/p>\n The next day we visited Langeland Island.\u00a0 This is Dovns Klint at the southern end of the island.\u00a0 The word klint\u00a0 is Danish for cliff.<\/p>\n We had gorgeous weather yet again!\u00a0 There are wild horses in this area from time to time, hence the fence in the foreground.<\/p>\n The beach was on the rocky side, but there were lots of skipping stones.\u00a0 I can’t resist a good skipping stone!<\/p>\n We took a short hike around the area and found these horses, but they weren’t very wild.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, they just stood there, staring towards the west.<\/p>\n A short drive north and we found the real wild horses.<\/p>\n The horses, considered wild, are fenced within a large enclosed area.\u00a0 This is more to keep people out of the protected area.\u00a0 We drove around the fenced off area to get closer to a group of them.<\/p>\n This stallion was not happy with our being there!<\/p>\n So we gave him and his harem some distance.<\/p>\n Further north on the island, Tranekaer Castle is pretty, but unfortunately wasn’t open to visit.\u00a0 It seems that September is outside of the busy season.<\/p>\n On the way back to Svendborg, we crossed over a smaller island called Tasinge, and visited Bregninge Church.\u00a0 Construction of this Romanesque church started in the year 1200.<\/p>\n The interior is somewhat spartan, which seems to be fairly typical in Denmark.<\/p>\n The church has the usual ship model ornamentation we’ve seen throughout the country.<\/p>\n You can climb up to the top of the tower, just don’t forget to hit the light switch upon entering the stairwell.\u00a0 It’s rather dark otherwise!<\/p>\n There are beautiful views in every direction!\u00a0 The church was built on the highest spot on the island.<\/p>\n We were the only ones here, so there was no jostling around to get a view.<\/p>\n That night we had a great dinner on the waterfront at Hotel Christiansminde.\u00a0 This was our view from the restaurant.<\/p>\n The walk back to our hotel along the waterfront had excellent views as well.<\/p>\n On our last day in Svendborg we rented e-bikes from the hotel and rode out to yet another island, Thuro, and were treated to more awesome shoreside views.<\/p>\n Thuro is dotted with large tracts of public parkland.\u00a0 This was a short hike from a parking lot where we were able to lock up our bikes.\u00a0 The island was very quiet, making it clear this is shoulder season.<\/p>\n These were our hosts at Rosenhoj Bed and Breakfast<\/a><\/strong>, Trine and Patrick Johnson.\u00a0 Great couple from London that were a lot of fun to get to know.\u00a0 Patrick was a police officer and Trine (originally from Denmark) was a chef, so the breakfasts (and one dinner) were awesome, and Patrick is filled with interesting stories.<\/p>\n They even have their own chickens so you get fresh eggs every day!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
