Upcoming journeys

This past month I spent a good bit of time making travel plans -- in February, I've got travels to Denmark and Italy lined up, and then in late April I'll be heading to China for the first time. It's always a little frustrating -- but then of course also extremely exciting -- being forced to sit at a computer, dreaming about traveling but not getting anywhere. Finally, the departure day for the first of several planned trips is almost here...

I'll be visiting the island of Bornholm from Monday to Friday next week, with cozy stopovers in Copenhagen planned for the way there and back. Unlike most of the other Danish islands, which are congregated in a large group somewhat to the north and east of Hamburg, Bornholm is further east, almost directly north of the Germany-Poland border. It's an island that's too small to drive around but too big for walking, so I'm hoping the weather will cooperate so that I can get around by mountain bike.

I've got some preparations to make this weekend before I leave, so more later when I have much more to share.
