Today was a bit experimental as Pauline wasn’t sure about all the links, for example according to google there was no bus on the island of ærø so we thought we might have to hitch a ride. Anyway we took the bus from Flensburg to Fynshav in Denmark as that’s where Ellen the E-ferry leaves from to Søby. Nice run on the bus, we drove alongside the fjord for a while and then into the countryside which was lovely.

The ferry was super smooth and quiet, and as it’s only four years old everything was very nice on board, very well thought out and much less stinky than your usual diesel ferry!

Once at Søby we were happy to see a bus stop just next to the ferry terminal so we jumped on the bus to the larger port on Ærø which is Ærøskøbing. When Pauline went to pay the bus driver informed her that buses were free on the island, that was nice. Ærøskøbing and the island itself were extremely charming, thatched houses with cuteness off the scale. Well worth a separate trip to stay here some time I think. Anyway, we had a couple of drinks in a cafe while waiting for the ferry to Svendborg, jumped on it and back off, found our hotel which conveniently is just across the road from the ferry terminal.
