Photos - Day 1

August 11, 2014

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.
