Travel hints.||From Copenhagen Town Hall to Ystad in Sweden you must calculate 1.30 hours by car. Then the catamaran ferry from Ystad to Rönne on Bornholm 1.20 hours, plus 0.35 hours from Rönne to Hotel Balka Strand. In all: Four hours tops traveling time including waiting time (from Copenhagen Airport even half an hour less).||||The Prices (for one Car Passage):||Öresundsbron is 390 Danish kroner (if you do not subscribe to continual transits). The Faergen catamaran-ferry is 1083 Danish kroner, or you might be in luck to buy a cheap ticket for 843 Danish kroner, or a pensioner's ticket for 566 Danish kroner.||||Our Room.||My wife and I arrived shortly before 15.00 o'clock, and we took a nap right away in preparation for our evening dinner in the hotel restaurant. This was a most welcome decision.||Our room (27 square meter) was nice with a private terrace (most of the rooms are at ground level).||||Hotel Layout.||The hotel layout includes five steps up to the restaurant. But you can always find an alternative route without steps – or you may use the staircase elevator, if you are in a wheelchair.||Wi-fi was available for free all over in the hotel.||||With only about 200 meter to Balka Beach we went for a dip every morning, enjoying the slanting rays of the morning sun before the clouds took over the agenda. ||From our hotel, the asphalt road, Boulevarden, skirts the beach, so it is an easy walk. However, right at the access to this northern end of the beach (next to the tiny Balka boat harbour) seaweed tend to accumulate, so we walked a few steps south along the beach toward the tiny brook, Melâen [MÉLâön] (mel = flour, because of the natural opaqueness of the stream).||After this refreshing swim in the seaweed-iodic water, we had our breakfast and started this day's expedition to the Bornholmian sights.||Luckily, the next day the municipality cleared away the seaweed, and we initiated a beach-stroll for ourselves every evening, enjoying the rays of the setting sun illuminating the thin clouds with changing colours here at the east coast of Bornholm.
