We had two themes of our trips:
1. Cycling.
2. Flooding
There are a lot of small roads winding through the landscape, with very few cars and perfect for cycling.
It has been raining heavily the last month, and the heavy soils of Langeland was soaked with water, so the additional rain resulted in surface run-off and flooding of the low laying part of the fields.
The Sunday cycling trip was in southernmost part of Langeland: Dovns Klint, and was shortened by heavy rain.
The municipality has invested a lot of money for new plots of land for individual houses, and the were ready, just before the heavy rain - now it seems that they are more suited for swimming than for building

The cycling trip of Monday afternoon was around Nørreballe Nor
Some friends came for a fishing trip - Langeland is famous for good fishing from the coast
The cycling trip of Tuesday was just southeast of the Rudkøbing, the main town of Langeland
The cycling trip Wednesday afternoon was to Spodsbjerg, east of Rudkøbing
The landscape of Langeland is dominated by windmills
Traditional Danish countryside church
Lisbeths flat is situated in the old town of Rudkøbing in a house called "Washington" an old inn for the sailors on the Goose Square.
Goose Square with the statute of H.C. Ørsted, the inventor of electromagnetism, and one of the many famous sons of Langeland (why no famous daughters?).
