To Paris & Back
On Saturday, when you were most likely sitting in a park sipping chilled Rose, M went on a one-day trip to Paris with the Superjumbo - the largest passenger airliner in the world - A380.
And he brought back these images:

...limbs slightly hurting from walking (through and out the whole city) but energy levels restored; thoughts are back on track.. Perfect recipe!
(End of) February, for us, was a month of Nordic culture/ architechture/ fashion/ culinary re-discoveries and people watching (this is the only place I have seen so far, where people pull off Converse trainers extreamly elegant and with .. the certain je-ne-sais-quoi) we went to Stockholm
Melkij was happy more than anyone alse, since it was his first trip this year!
(and pyjamas were keeping me warm in between of running ins - rushing outs to dinner/ bars as they promised)
What I liked was:
...eating and seeing ELKS (chocolate, smoking pipe and real ones @ Skansen, which is on Djurgården) EVERYWHERE! cute!
...drinking cup of hot chocolate in a small chocolatier on Stortorget, (which is a main square in Gamla Stan) after a stroll under wet snow and pig puddles
...eating lunch @ Saluhallen on Östermalmstorg
...having dinners @ Riche on Birger Jarlsgatan 4 - which also has a great bar! and @ Marie Laveau on Hornsgatan 66
...none of the clubs were discovered this time, as to be quite frank, we would come back to our hotel's bar area for drinks - to the bar with no menu, on Skeppsbron 12
...shopping @ NK on Hamngatan 18-20 and @ Urban Outfitters - an old cinema building!- on Biblioteksgatan 5 and also peeking through middle of Östermalm & Norrmalm boroughs
...getting stationary @ BookbindersDesign on Humlegårdsgatan 19, where they tailor-make your bindings (duh!) with fresh colours and elegant materials. And one of their logos is "Dont Forget To Write"... so we ran and posted postcards (which we always do anyway:) )
Wien
SERVAS!
Big fat verdict: I cannot eat anymore... Seriously, peoples, how do you do it? :) Eating meat for 4 days in a row is not funny....
Anyway, I am here [Wien] for another week, and with a lot of time on my hands until the 31st, since M had to fly to London today! *boooo hoooooo!*
Until I explore houses/streets/museums in Jugendstil (for a millionth time), I tell you friendly what I have done:
* Eaten, eaten and eaten, again. On top of the home cooking, we went to Plachutta to overdose on (drum sounds) MEAT! Arrrggghhh! :)))
* Played Monopoly (I lost and I cried); Scotland Yard ( I won. once. 5 months ago); a funny dice game (even winning!)
* Had some warm chestnuts and walked on Graben...
* And Sunday evening was dedicated to a London reunion in Vienna at the Loos bar...
Now my agenda consists of walking, visiting Hawelka, going to Albertina and very geeky - finishing my Boris Akunin books...
Untill any other news:
P.S. message to: Alesia!
Yep, photographic mojo close to full restoration with the Leica lens ;) Wait till I come back (and wont fit into the door) :)
Have a lovely evening!
