Once again, I bought a Flaschenpost (message in a bottle) while at the Baltic Sea. In this case, I suppose I am a bit of a romantic…

After I had written a short message, I added some small rocks and dropped it into the Schlei Bay from where it might find its way out into the ocean.

Message in a Bottle

Last time I had bought one, it took me four years to drop it into the ocean. I had taken it with me on my trip to the Faroe Islands in 2008, and dropped it into the water. I got an e-mail message back two days later from a happy mom with a very excited little boy who had found the bottle. It had not travelled very far yet, so she asked me if they could send it off again while on a short ferry tour to Norway.

I have not heard back since then.
