Bornholm, Denmark
Bornholm, Danish island off the south east coast of Sweden (pop 45,000);
Up out of Endelave, we set course east across into Swedish airspace to skirt their south coast before heading out south east of Sweden to Bornholm which is part of Denmark (though you would think it is Swedish to look at a map). We heard some inbound Swedes on an instrument approach and thought that we might not be able to land ahead of them but due to some slick class D controlling and a somewhat truncated circuit pattern on my part, we eased down onto the touch down marks on the vast tarmac runway (hilariously easy after the grass strips recently) and taxied up to fuel, which although breathtakingly expensive, was manned by a champ who had worked in the Australian Antarctic for a Danish contracting company. They even had some of the running in oil that we like, so we nabbed a spot of that, tied down and loaded the trailer for the trip to what turns out to be the best camp ground I've seen. It isn't even secluded – right between the airport and the largest town with 1/3 of the island's population. I think the people being so cruisy and polite makes the biggest contribution to the awesomeness. The brilliant facilities or the multiple non crowded swimming beaches don't hurt either.
I'd have liked to flop today but we ended up cycling over to the other side of the island. I think that must have been 5 times the total that I've done this year so far. I hope my legs come back soon. The fish smokeries here rock. Their chimney towers are an iconic image and the Tuborg beers and low key beach smoked prawns/herring/salmon make an A1 cycling break.
Fresh and smoked wood;

The centre of the island is gently undulating and densely wooded in parts;
Bornholm has turnded out to be a lovely place, hence the extra day here. The cycle paths around the island are mostly firm dirt through a canopy of lush oaks and conifer plantings. The swimming beaches and campings are brilliant so it seems to be the ideal place for a comfortable and fun cycle touring.
I've just done a flight plan north to Stockholm. Looks to be 3 hrs and 70 litres of fuel. Thankfully our detination there has car petrol which is a prefereable less expensive option that we can use. Ska Edeby is where we are heading. It is on the island to the west of the main Stockholm island and we have been allowed to stay for several days to hopefully we'll be able to cycle into town easily and explore. I'm very excitied, I've been waiting a long time to see Stockholm and be in Sweden!
