New horizons
Do you now the feeling of wanna discover the world. Day dreaming of things you have seen or heard. Places you wanna see and touch. Thats how I felt at the time I decided to quit my job and flat for travels and to find a new place abroad.
This time there will be only one way tickets no returns. There is also no fixed place to go to except that I might stick to europe cos of Schengenen room which makes it simpler to find work. To find a suitable place to live for a while I will travel. How long … I don’t know now. For a moment, a moment which will take a while.
Start is the end of September, first destination is still open. But I might start by train and move to the north of europe. Maybe I will try to get to russia and later on to china. And from there maybe to Lhasa. It can all be done by train which is pretty cool. But I will see …
If you have any comments, ideas or general input just give a shout. Would also be nice if one or another has some ideas about a place to go next. Keep following 🙂
Love doesn’t know restrictions, does it?
Recently in antwerpen.
Down Town Krakow
Not much to say, is just another wonderful medieval City or at least the old part of it. Just sooooo much bigger as Tallinn. Just check the pics …
Part of the old city wall.
Artists presenting some of their work along the city wall …
The castle of Krakow through the trees of the park.
Not taken in the middle of the night but at 5pm! Krakow maine square.
Riiiiiigaaaaaaa, once more party …
Back to lively life or further to the capital of Latvia – RIGA. Things change on a travel crossing the border between two countries. Even soviet trains can be improved! Some things never change, Estonia as Latvia have many ruins from the former soviet union.
The train journey from Tartu to Riga was impressive and left many memories. Untouched nature, buildings which were left 20 years ago or longer and ruins which are still in use. Strange are also the train stations along the track. Sometimes you couldn’t recognise anything around!
common area @ cinnamon sally
After the 5 hour train ride I was happy to arrive at my hostel which actually could have been someones living room. Great place to spend some spare time. So if you ever go to Riga and you won’t stay in a party place check Cinnamon Sally’s Backpacker Hostel.

Stallin's Birthday-Cake
Arthouse in OldTown
Riga holds a really nice old town. Some of the buildings are in Jugendstil others hold some general art on the facade. If you ever hear from Stalins Birthdaycake, this is not a desert it is a building type. Damn was already looking forward for a delicious cake or so …

And here is the original channel test, invented by the soviets!
From Tallinn to Pirita by bike
Most tourists return home without a sniff into the suburbs of Tallinn. A path which some historical information about Tallinn and Estonia is the way to Pirita – sailing competitions of the olympic games 1980 in Moscow were held here.
old city hall of Tallinn
… and we are just half way up to the top/end of the city hall. Not really a nice construction but some how an interesting place. The whole thing is in a quit bad condition and for that its not used anymore.
song competition ground
On the tower you have the olympic fire place from the 1980 games. The big stage is about the yearly hold Estonian Song Festival.
art museum
The home of the art museum. The building is quite nice but as many in someway in a bad state.
modern architecture in suburbs of Tallinn
One the cycle tour you will pass by on some memorials for second world war and other things. But you also cross some places with newly build buildings which look awesome.
So if you will go to Tallinn take some extra time to leave the city center and head out into the suburbs. During summer time you will be also able to take a bath in the finish golf on a sand beach. Right now it was a bit chilly so we let that out …
City of Reykjavik
Here some impressions from the city Reykjavik. Its a shame, but I almost never left this place even if there are so many nice sights outside of this city. Anyway its a great city to spend some time. A few things to see and right now quite a lot to hear while airwaves is going on.
Reykjavik has a quite modern part. Its actually the home of the icelandic banks.
Opposite site of the city centre there is the harbour with some docks. There is even a dry dock where the maintenance for the fishermen boats is done.
One of the place I like most was the newly opened concert hall “Harpa”. It’s actually quite similar to the KKL based in Lucern Switzerland. Designed by the same Architect and the acoustical design is about the same. Unfortunately it was not opened for airwaves!
Quite special is also the main church of the town. There are a few churches around but this one is the biggest of all.
Old City Hall or so. Great few but wouldn’t live here. This place is surrounded by main roads 🙁
Not far from the city border you can find a place where someone put up some metal sculptures. A few of these constructions are around. Actually I don’t know the story behind this place.
