The sunniest part of Denmark …

… is the Baltic Sea island of Bornholm, where we just spent a week. Easy to get to, via the ferry from the German port of Sassnitz, not too crowded in late August and early September, lots of thins to see and do.

We stayed at a vacation apartment near Gudhjem on the east side of the island, and explored other parts of the island from there. The whole island is only about 40km long …

What did we enjoy most? A daytrip to the even smaller island of Christiansø, a 1h ferry ride away, and you can walk around that entire island in 1-2h.

We also discovered the workshop of one of the very few people who still know how to make indigo prints, and build the printing templates from brass nails and pearwood. He has no website, but there is a Youtube video (in Danish) that illustrates the technique.

Some photos are here.
