The first day took me to the Island of Usedom in Germany and then
over the island of Bornholm to the beautiful city of Visby in
Sweden. Bornholm in particular and the surrounding islets as well
as the historic city of Visby are well worth your while. For WWII
enthusiasts - Usedom island was the home of Peenemunde laboratories
where the infamous V1 and V2 missiles were developed. I flew over
and recorded these facilities too.
