Rønne Bornholm

Welcome to Ronne

 Our first stop was Rønne where we had a short but wild ride on a tender into port.We walked the short distance to the "large square" and were surprised to find no evidence of tourism. No vendors, no shored excursions and the local currency is not the Euro. The town/island is more of a vacation site with lots of cycling and camping. There were some geocaches in town but none that called out my name. While on ship we had met Richard and Jo-Ann Simon from Michigan who I had met online via cruise critic. I'm still friends on Facebook with Jo-Ann but Richard sadly left us a few years ago. We said goodby to town and took the tender back to the ship in time for 4:00 tea and met a couple of other English speakers:Angela and Bob from NY/FL and Shiela and Sonny from England/Belgium. The 8 of us had dinner and caught the second show: a nice variety singer from South Africa.

The next day was at sea on our way to Helsinki. Weather was partly cloudy, chilly in the 60s but warm in the sun. We listened awhile to Duo Caseopia (piano and cello) in the Chocolate Bar.
