On the 16.feb. 2004, while camping in Tasmania, I found a plastic bottle washed up on the beach. I quickly noticed that there was a few rolled up pieces of paper in the bottle. This was very exciting, and I was really looking forward to see what was in the bottle. The letters I found made an enormous impression on me and I would like to share it with you.
