Bornholm

Det er nogle år siden jeg sidst var på Bornholm for at holde ferie, og det er godt nok mange år siden jeg var der alene! Jeg var en lille bitte smule nervøs for hvordan det skulle gå - om jeg bare ville længes hjem? - men det var helt unødvendigt!

Da jeg kom til sommerhuset, startede jeg ferien med at gå en tur ad klippestien til Allinge. Altså - HVIS jeg havde kunnet holde mig til stien! Det tog ret lang tid, for der var både brombær at spise og klipper at klatre på! Det er så smuk en tur! 

Jeg fik både min tur og fik handlet mad til nogle dage. 

It's been a few years since I went to Bornholm for vacation last time, and it's been many years since I was there by myself! I was a tiny bit nervous how it would work out - if I would just long to go home? - but that was totally unnecessary! 

When I arrived at the summerhouse, I started my vacation by taking the rock path to Allinge. Well - IF I had been able to stick to the path! It took quite some time, because there were not only blackberries to eat but also rocks to climb! This is such a pretty trip. 

So I got my walk and bought food for a few days. 

Næste dag, søndag, kom min nevø som bor på Bornholm. Jeg havde nogle ting med til ham som han fik, og så gik vi ellers ad klippestien den anden vej, til Tejn, hvor hans farfar og farmor boede engang. 

Det var så hyggeligt. Han fandt det sted han plejede at bade da han var lille (selv om det vist var minimalt hvor meget han faktisk badede!) og de klipper han plejede at klatre på. Dengang var de kæmpestore, klipperne! Nu gik de ham vel til næsen, vil jeg tro! 

Det blæste lidt så der var nogle bølger. 

The next day, on Sunday, my nephew, who lives at Bornholm, came by. I brought some stuff for him to get, and then we took the rock path in the other direction, to Tej, where his dad grew up. 

It was so nice. He found the place where he used to bathe when he was small (although I guess the bathing was a minimum!) and the rocks he used to climb. Back then they were huge, those cliffs! I guess now they were the same level at his nose!

It was a bit windy, so there were waves. 

Vi fik også hotdogs og øl ved havnen i Tejn. Virkelig lækkert og med den fineste udsigt!

We also had hotdogs and beer at the Tejn harbor. Really delicious and with the prettiest view!

Da han var taget hjem igen ville jeg se noget mere, så jeg tog bussen til Gudhjem. Der er bare så fint i Gudhjem! Jeg gik en god tur ned til havnen og op forbi kirken på vej tilbage til bussen. 

Oppe ved stien til kirken så jeg denne her - totalt cool! - kat som havde fanget en stålorm og nu legede med den. Altså - bornholmske katte må være en helt anden liga!

Jeg bestemte mig også for at tage til Christiansø om mandagen.... For første gang nogensinde!

After he went home I wanted to see some more, so I took the bus to Gudhjem. Gudhjem is so pretty! I took a nice walk down to the harbor and then passed the church on my way back to the bus. 

Up at the church path I found this - totally cool! - cat who caught a "common slow worm" and now played with it. You know - cats from Bornholm must be a different leauge!

I decided to go to Christiansø on Monday..... For the first time ever!
