A big bunch of us headed for a midnight bike ride to Müggelturm, a strange communist era viewing tower on the south eastern edge of Berlin. Apparently back in the old days, the hip thing to do was hanging out in a strange tower in the middle of nowhere, admiring the surrounding forest. We finished off our trip with a picnic under the stars by Müggelsee, the largest lake near Berlin.
I went on a cool little hiking trip in Strausberger today, just outside of Berlin. Special thanks to Annick for organising an awesome trip 🙂
Everyone says that spring in Norway is beautiful. So we decided to celebrate it by having a barbecue by the lake at a balmy -3°. We also discovered that putting a baby disposable barbecue on a wooden bench is not such a good idea, unless of course you want to barbecue your food with the table itself.
During my visit to Dunedin, I went to check out the Ross Creek Reservoir which I had heard was drained due to earthquake damage. Thankfully the lake is still there, it’s just a little lower than it was in the past. I was expecting a hideous mud bog to remain, but the reservoir is still a pleasant place to visit.
I went cycling around Ørfiske north of Oslo, Norway with my friend Marte.
More photos from my cycling trips 🙂 This time it’s Maridalsvannet from above.
I went to Trollvann, a beautiful little lake in the hills above Oslo. The place was swarming with families out enjoying the beautiful Norwegian summer.
The lovely Ingvild and Marte invited me to stay at their awesome little cottage in the woods. It overlooks a beautiful little lake called Movatn. The weather gods were angry that evening, but we were nice and cosy and downed some yummy seafood chowder followed by a healthy dose of ice cream and chocolate sauce 🙂
It seems people are fascinated about where I end up on my weekends, so here are some snaps from a couple of weeks ago. I ended up somewhat lost during a cycling trip as I forgot my phone so had no Google maps, I had an awful map which barely showed any detail and I forgot my compass to boot, so kept losing my bearings. I eventually ended up sitting beside an awesome lake called Nøklevannet; I didn’t take any photos whilst there because there were girls bouncing around in bikini’s everywhere and so I didn’t want to look like the creepy guy taking photos of them (plus I was too busy staring at boobs to take photos). It ended up being a 40 km round trip, including lots of detours attempting to find something interesting. Next time I will take a good map, compass, phone and figure out where the heck I’m going first 🙂
