-morning walk on the promanade next to the see-

-fog above see level, sunny morning-

-no winter for cycling enthusiasts-

Then going back home.

 I think I saw most beautiful sunset ever.. 4 o'clock, from the plane, 

up there high above Sweden. 

There is something about Scandinavia.. ♥

Day in Budapest

 Sometimes different combinations of public transport take time.

Train from Slovenia and plain to Sweden had mess up timing, so no other option but to stay one night in the city near airport. 

And while this city is Budapest, one of nicest east Europe capitals, 

I don´t really mind.  Don´t mind at all :)
