It looks a lot darker than it was that early morning.

Beautiful Ilse watching us go from the pier

She had just jumped in the chilly Baltic Sea for her morning swim!

Ahh the sun rise over Bornholm...

BAM! Water slamming against the boat window!

This chaos more appropriately represents our hell trip on that boat.

What a wonderful story!
Oh thank you so much for sharing your adventures in Bornholm! From the wonderful way to which everything kept coming together to the torture of the puking (oh you poor chicas!!), I was a captive audience for this story. I truly felt I was traveling with you as you recounted your stay. What a memorable time this will be for the both of you.
