Transylvanian countryside
The Transylvanian countryside is beautiful. They have a terrific mixture of beautiful greenery and rustic charm. I highly recommend checking it out if you ever get the opportunity. They even had some sheep to make me feel like home 🙂

WordCamp Translyvania
The organisers of a web development conference called WordCamp Transylvania invited me to come give a presentation at their event. I enjoyed my last trip to Romania so much that I decided to head back again this year. I had never been to Transylvania so it was a great opportunity to see the countryside while I was at it. Everyone I talked to in Bucharest last year told me I would enjoy Transylvania more, and they were correct 🙂 The people are nice and things more move slowly in these parts.

Chilling in München
I’m waiting in München before heading to Cluj-Napoca in Transylvania. The Germans certainly do know a thing or two about good beer.

The magnificent København mermaid. This apparently won a prize as one of the most overrated tourist venues in Europe. -

Kastellet is a picturesque, albeit strange looking “star fortress” in København, Denmark.

København windmills
Denmark has a lot of windmills. They look quite spectacular around København and you can get a good view of them from the train heading from Malmø in Sweden.

First Oslo cycling trip of 2013
With the first weekend of good weather, I took to the hills around Oslo on my mountain bike. This time I went with Ingvild, Live, Kaspars, Baiba and Marco. It was nice to have travelling companions for once 🙂 We started from Frognersetteren and had an easy trip downhill most of the way. We did have a brief uphill excursion through some seriously rough stuff. I don’t think I’m very good at taking it easy and spent most of my time falling off my bike or attempting, and usually failing, to ride through stupidly deep mud. Lots of fun though and we all made it back in one piece 🙂
Some people carried their bikes around the mud. Kaspars found a route which didn’t require going through the mud. I on the other hand am stubborn and decided to go through the mud. Sometimes it worked, some it didn’t 😛 I was a tad muddy by the end of the trip! 
A lake which I don’t know the name of. If you know what this is called, please let me know in the comments 🙂

This is a demonstration of why NOT to ride your bike through mud! 
T-shirt weather, but there was still snow on the hills.
