Bornholm

I've been a blog slacker!

Bornholm:

Last weekend I went to Bornholm, this great Danish island located in the Baltic, east of Denmark (it's actually closer to both Sweden and Poland than Denmark). We left Friday night and took an overnight ferry. The ferry was massive and pretty nice, much different than what I was expected. Actually, pretty much everything here is different than I expect so I should really stop having expectations in the first place.

You could tell the seasoned Bornholm ferry travellers because they had inflatable air mattresses and sleeping bags and were already passed out by the time we made it onboard at 11 pm. I don't sleep well in upright seats, so I was kind of lame and purchased my own cabin to sleep in. So for me the ride was great, I hung out until 1 am and then had a nice sleep. For the people sleeping in chairs, it apparently was pretty uncomfortable and cold.

The ferry got in at 6 am and after we all groggily stumbled onto the bus we headed to our hostel for the weekend. The bus ride there was beautiful.

Oops! I have to leave for my fishing (!) trip. I will update more later.
