What: speedpost
Where: hotel in bordeaux, france
Why: no laptop
How: stolen from a friend
When: at Brussels midi railstation
Travel route so far (highlights and photos to be added):
Copenhagen, Denmark
Highlights: my friend and I got a 'insiders' guided tour of the parliment, including old nordic cuisine lunch. Pigs head? Nom nom nom. Also some funky alternative stores. Unlike Sweden there is somewhat an emphasis on spices. Swedens idea of hot sauce on a kebab is the garlic version of the Swedish mystery white sauce.
Amsterdam, Netherlands + Rotterdam
Funfact: according to one of the barstaff that had previously worked in the red light district, 70% of clients are from the UK, I cluding people from booze cruises.
Highlights: beautiful city, friendly barstaff, Anne Frank museum, relatively safe feel, pancakes with cheese.
Brussels, Belgium
Highlights: waffles, very cheap beer and middle eastern food (flat breads, sweats, lamb kofta), nice city tourbus
Lowlights: getting my day bag stolen when I left it with a friend, he got distracted by one person, while the partner in crime stole it from behind him, still not a fan of Belgian Chocolate.
Highlights: iconic buildings, walkable city, french onion soup, croissants, cheese.
Lowlights: customer service at some places.
Caen(Normandy region), France
Highlights: crazy busdriver ragging on us for fun. Seeing white sand and sunshine.
Lowlights: spending 4hrs in whoop whoop and $80 on a taxi due to a friends google mapping mistake...
Bordeaux, France
Highlights: wine tasting,
Montpellier, France
Highlights: more wine
Barcelona, Spain
Highlights: deserves a couple of days of walking. Goudy's creative architecture, city views from the hills. Salmon and spinach quiche.
Lowlights: being secretly sprayed with womens makeup upon arrival then having two suss strangers try to clean us. Attempted robbery I would believe.
Highlights: Paella, sugary goodness.
Lisbon, Portugal
Highlighs: Portugese tarts with cinnamon, seafood & lingerie shopping
It's all east from here!
Off to Munich, Germany(flight stopover visiting a friend)
Then to Siberia
