when in Vienna

- make sure to visit the classical, touristic spots
- and make sure to eat a Sachertorte (!)
- visit the Hundertwasserhaus (and museum - it's one of the awesomest I've visited)
- visit the MuseumsQuartier and a museum or two - I really enjoyed MUMOK
- eat Austrian food (like kaiserschmarrn ❤), f.ex. at Café Einstein
- and visit the Palmenhaus. It's a little warm in there (obviously), but so pretty and so worth it.

a midweek in Vienna

Vienna. A city that never really called my name, but now that I'm here I'm having the best time. It might be because of the fact I'm together with so many of my favorite people from the Norwegian summer school last year, but it might also just be because of Vienna. There are so many pretty buildings here and so much delicious food.

(Also a first: not bringing my proper camera, but only my fisheye, when traveling. I'm not sure what I think about that yet.)

barefoot

Zutendaal. My mom and I drove an hour south, to Belgium, to walk a so-called 'barefoot path'. It's the first one in Belgium ánd the first time I do something like this and it definitely is a lot of fun! Simply to walk through the forest and feel all different textures. It did require some proper foot-cleaning afterwards, but it was so worth it.

poffertjes, music and de Affaire

Nijmegen. My favorite thing about the Netherlands in summer definitely are all the free festivals. My favorite? De Affaire, without a doubt. It's a weekly (or well, 5 days) festival with great artists and this year the weather forecast even was GREAT, so I figured I'd crash at my friend Yolanda's place for the complete weekend. I had the best of days and not so secretly fell completely in love with I Am Oak. Just listen to it (and the whole cd).
