Tåsinge island. Day 3: Bri-K art gallery, Søren Lolk’s house, and Skovballe harbour

Last morning on Tåsinge… Mette and I left our tents to dry, packed our stuff, had breakfast (water, fruit and bread), and headed to the south of the island.

The road went through a nice forest:

Art gallery Bri-K was something Google recommended us to visit.

The owner welcomed us in, told us about her works and upcoming projects.

Her husband had his workshop in another corner of the garden:

He was sewing sails, bags for tools, and doing other creative work.

We continued to the Vornæs harbour:

And later had a stop by the Søren Lolk’s house:

Søren Lolk (1876 – 1933) was a well-known idealist and cultural figure from Tåsinge. He was a self-educated man, who was in many ways ahead of his time. He promoted eating vegetarian food, practicing nudity while working in the fields, preserving the old memories of the past, not hitting one’s children, among other things. Søren Lolk arranged folk festivities with lectures by well-known personalities of that time. He built his house in 1915.

Mette and I said hello to a gang of geese – they demanded food, and they did it very loudly:

Finally we reached Skovballe harbour where it was very silent. There were tables, all with nice views. We had our lunch there, ready-made salads we bought in a supermarket.

Soon fishing boats were returning to the harbour with the day’s catch. They had lots of eel. I was tempted to buy, but those eels were so big, and the way back home long. We had a chat with the fishermen before heading back on the road.

An interesting small house on the way attracted my attention. It was used as a garden kitchen:

Around 20 km of biking were left behind that day:

Mette and I took off and did a round over the Skarø island (the ice-cream Mette was so fond of):

We waved goodbye to Troense, the town we adored so much:

Flew over the Valdemar’s Castle and had a look at the beach, where we spent a lovely afternoon, from air:

After landing in my home flying club in Holbæk, Mette and I had a cup of tea and an ice-cream, and I sent her home.

I washed my Aeroprakt and prepared it for the next flight. I prefer doing it alone, when nobody interrupts me.

The Aviator and The Blue Bear delivered the beer and canned fish from the Storms Hjørne shop of Troense to Flemming’s summer house later that evening:

And Flemming served some sparkling wine. Everybody was happy:

It was a great trip. I was so glad, Mette and I managed to get 3 days out of our busy calendars to enjoy the outdoors, camp in tents, to explore some parts of the island of Tåsinge and discover so many interesting things there!
