Ascension Day Dinner in Rønne

Tonight we all went out for a proper joint dinner in a local restaurant! We felt that it was time to celebrate coming this far without any mishaps. The tourist season had not started yet so it was easy for us to get a table for five. Even four legged friends are well taken care of here in town! If you need to park your husband while shopping here in Rønne, then there's a practical solution available to keep all family members happy!

Bornholm - "The Baltic Pearl"

The sailing from Holtenau to Bornholm,  (pop. 40.000) in Denmark was very good most of the distance on this leg of 170 NM. Limited traffic at night helped us to cover the distance in only 26 hours. Upon arrival in Rønne (pop. 13.700), the main Capital of Bornholm and the largest town, we were greeted and assisted by a very friendly Harbour Master.

The Port of Rønne is Denmark's 12th largest harbour and lively frequented by ferries, fishing boats and cargo vessels. The only pleasure craft in our part of the harbour today, when I write this, is a Norwegian yacht (Bavaria 42) spending two nights here before heading south to Poland. We are also thinking of staying 2 nights here before we continue north to Borgholm on the Swedish island Öland.
