I am not sure where they are originally from, but you find chimney cakes for sale all over central Europe. They are light and fluffy, and drizzled with sugar and cinnamon. Best eaten hot, you’ll never forget the amazing taste. And the secret ingredience, as clearly stated, is love butter.
I had a business function at the Silo hotel in the V&A waterfront. But I had no idea it was going to be in the Penthouse. It was a magnificent venue. The view from the top was just amazing.
I could quite happily book a few nights here, but at a list price of over USD 6000 per night, I don’t think I’ll be making a booking. But it truly is a lovely venue.
The lovely, yet way too small parliament building in Bratislava.
The upside down yet strangely lovely building in Bratislava. You (umm) can’t miss it if you’re in the area.
Spotted on Palmer Road, Muizenberg. A free book exchange, just don’t take more than you leave. A lovely community initiative I think.
Wear your mask outside your home, its the right thing to do.
I love these eco-bikes. You find them in most of the big European cities now, and they are a great way to get around. You use a mobile app (of course) to register a bike, and off you go. When you’re done you pop it into a rack and you’re done.
They have a similar concept with scooters which you can leave anywhere when you’re done, and the app tells you where the nearest scooters are.
A great idea, but I somehow think the South-African public isn’t quite ready for them…
Nothing like a beer-tasting at a Berlin Microbrewery, followed up with an excellent eisbein
If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend Brauhaus Suedstern.
When we stayed in Berlin, our host was from Turkey, which meant that I was treated to many cups of the most amazing Turkish coffee.
