walk the line

   Warsaw, June 2025. Had a quick work trip to Warsaw during Polish Presidency term. Always nice to be back. As close as it is to Estonia, the last time I was in Warsaw , was exactly 10 years ago. 

   Beginning of March, we went to visit our lovely friends and snowboard a little. As they live not too far from Helsinki and we only went for a long weekend, we did not go to the north, but opted for some smaller resorts near Espoo and Kirkonummi. Still more slopes than in Estonia. Also, did some sightseeing and walking around, cooked together and had a great time. Fun fact, we chose the warmest weekend to go, which is not the greatest for hitting the slopes. It was +10 degreed on couple of the days..

   Early February, headed to Munich for a concert and a fun couple of days with Inx. We got really lucky with the weather. Although early in the morning we landed in complete fog (as you do apparently every time, you fly to Munich), the days were sunny and quite warm for February. So we walked around a lot, did a lot of window-shopping, some actual shopping, ate and sipped a couple cocktails.

   January 2025. 

   Our choir's friends from Murnau, Germany were celebrated a 100th anniversary of their choir, our other friends from Berlin were going to join them for a couple of concerts so we decided to surprise them as well and flew in for a long weekend.

  October 2024. As it was Hungary's Presidency term, our first autumn meeting took us to Budapest. As I have been to Budapest before, there was not much touristing around, more touristy info here and here . 

 Porto had been on my list for a while, so now, when I was already almost on the border of Spain and Portugal, I had to visit. 

   A Coruña - Praia das Cadedrais - Ribadeo - Lugo - Santiago de Compostela - Vigo,  August 2024

 July 2024.  Took a train (and a bus, thanks to Renfe) from Valladolid to San Sebastian! I have not truly explored north of Spain, ever, so about time to rectify the situation.
