Wroclaw

Photos from last year I realised I never put up here. They are from my little eurotrip when stopping in Wroclaw. This city, though small in comparison to many other creative cities, has a big artsy vibe. It's by the way the future European Cultural Capital of 2016!

Kraków I

Walking through Krakow I couldn't keep my eyes off the buildings for some reason. I know in some viewers' eyes these frontages might look run down but I find them beautiful.

Result from a day walk. 

Reeperbahn Festival

Zwischen Imbissbuden, einer wohl unvermeidbaren Begegnung mit Olivia Jones und großartigen Club Locations wurde Ende September die Reeperbahn unsicher gemacht um wunderbare Bands zu genießen.
Ein bisschen Hetzerei war dabei aber umso mehr Spaß! Sehr empfehlenswertes Festival in der großartigen Hafenstadt. :)

Oh, du wunderschönes Hamburg!

 

Anlässlich des Reeperbahn Festivals ging es Ende September nach Hamburg. Ausgestattet mit Elbsegler auf dem Kopf und einem großartigen Stadtplan wurde die Stadt aufmerksam und mit großen begeisterten Augen erkundet. 3 Tage für das erste Mal in der liebevollen Hafenstadt waren definitiv nicht genug.

Fazit: Hamburg, I'll be back.

traiškanos (Vilnius' nights)

- Pictures from a wonderful evening in the heart of Vilnius, Lithuania, in a sort of squat house where two Lithuanians took me to. Guys singing and playing in Lithuanian. I didn't understand a single word but the music was still beautiful. Such a great atmosphere. 

- Pictures from the Basketball Europe Cup celebration on Vilnius' streets due to Lithuania coming second place. If something surprised me, it was that I didn't know Lithuania had such a good basketball team.

Děkuji!

Some photos to finally sum up my full impression of Prague. Such a vivid, inspiring and pretty city!

The arts scene is great. The city has many exhibitions to offer (when I was there they even had a so called 'museum night' where many museums were for free and open till 2 a.m.) and I went to finally see a Leica Gallery. Could have spent hours in it. 

As a photographer or lover of photography the city is definitely a must-visit!

Rain, Sun and a Piano Player

Prague, Krakow, Wroclaw, Vilnius and Hamburg. 

I had a long trip by mainly train to these lovely places and it's going to take me a while to sort all photos out and show what I want to express. 

Your mind gets filled with this overwhelming feeling when you go on a trip like this. You meet people from all different kind of places with different backgrounds, you see so many places you would have never imagined to see and you start to see beauty in the smallest things. 

I got back over a week ago but it's like when you wake up and you have to think for a while about what you saw in your dream.

I appreciate everything I saw and experienced and learned what it means that all things happen for a reason.

STCKHLM II

Stockholm is an amazing city I find. My friend and me got a 3-day bike pass for 160 kronas (~20 euros) which is way cheaper than the metro of Stockholm considering that a one-way ticket costs around 4-5 euros.

I was very impressed about all the old buildings, not only in Gamla Stan (Old Town) but also in places like Södermalm. I would definitely find my dream apartment there! We found great store constellations, for example a flower store combined with a café and a bakery. Great idea!

People are really nice and speaking English is no problem for them(as probably in whole Scandinavia).

I love how they take their "Fika" very seriously. Fika is a sort of coffee break mostly combined with a little pastry. There's so many cafés all around and they seem to be busy most of the time. So of course I had my own coffee break at least twice a day... ;)
