We made it and it was magnificent. Here are some non-food photos.

I thought is should share some water shots for Stockholm. After all, 30% of Stockholms area is made up of waterways.

Another 30% is made up of green space. Perhaps, like Sydney, that is why the road and bike infrastructure feels squeezed in. Despite its hills and cold weather the bike infrastructure is well used  – especially during peak hour. There is a genuine rush on the way home. It feels like there more bikes than cars. But, as usual cars take up too much space and there is smattering of Swedish bogans with loud cars who think cities are good places to show off.

These photos were taken from a pleasant boat trip around the archipelago.

Now that’s saying something.

It may surprise you, but sometimes we are not actually taking photos. For example, during the unexpected thunderstorm while we in the Praga district of Warsaw. There are no photos of wet cyclists seeking refuge under a tram stop shelter. Nor are there any photos of me trying to use the ticket vending machine for the tram (one of which was broken) – and why is it that the ticket vending machines are not under cover!?!

The good news is that we riding with Bromptons. We merely folded the bikes and boarded the number 74 tram instead.

You’ll have to make do with this photo from the Neon Museum.

1. That the enigma code was broken by Polish mathematicians in Poznan – they passed their information to the English at the beginning of World War II. Here is a picture of where these mathematicians worked.

2. Sometimes the best coffee are in the least expected spots. For example, the best coffee we found in Berlin was in the bottom of a communist showcase building on Karl Marx avenue. Yum!

3. Free High Speed Internet does not mean that it’ll work. For some reason Helen could upload her photos from her iPad, but I couldn’t. Weird hey? So anyway here is a photo you would have otherwise missed thanks to the very high speed internet here in Warsaw. 

4. Pavlova probably originated in Germany! Poland seems to enjoy Pavlova and Pavlova derivatives much more than Aussies. 

5. You’ve got to be careful on Warsaw’s big roads – best to stick to the footpat !!! The small roads are o.k.

6. A lot of people will assemble to watch two prentend goats butt heads at 12 noon?
