The Copenhagen Report

Rønne, Bornholm from the air...

Ending up on the Danish island of Bornhorm during the summer months, and a mere 3 hours from Copenhagen - assuming no bad weather has caused the catamarans to be cancelled (more on that later) - is never a bad option, in spite of the unreliable Danish weather. So, a few simple pictures...


Rønne from the sea...




Deep blue waters straight off the rocks waters makes for a great place for a quick jump into the water at Allinge (just in front of the røgeri)


the view from Hasle...


fishermen in the Rønne harbour...


wood...and water


a visit just woudn't be complete without a bit of smoked herring...in this case from Svaneke




yep, smoked herring...


smoked fish!


Now this is a moment in Danish time. A classic and tasty Bornholm tourist dish from the Svaneke Røgeri - smoked herring, rugbrød, and some butter (and in this case a mussel on the side...)


Homemade at Svaneke: The Flødebolle (a distinctly Danish, well, Scandinavian, chocolate treat...)




Hammershus...taking you all the way back to the 13th century. Kind of.


the view from Hammershus...

The ferry ride home on a rather, ahem, blustery day is another story...one involving cancelled catamarans, a slow ferry, small paper bags and many gagging-like noises. Thankfully, none of them were coming from us, the day of this photo.


can't bode well for a smooth ride home...


3 hours of wavey action, little paper bags and way too many unpleasant sounds...
