Swedish bikes

Stockholm's littered with bikes (and not in the literal bikes-in-the-river way that Trondheim was) which makes sense since it's a city of small islands and not many hills.

All this makes for plenty of photo opportunities like this one, from a back alley in Gamla Stan, which is an area I'll write more about one day when things slow down.

At this point I should also mention that Stockholm scores well on the 'Could I Live Here?' rating system I've been mentally applying to each place we've visited thus far.

Norwegian Wood

Here's a random photo from the side of a road in Norway. Directly behind this view in fact.

We're hanging out in Stockholm now, surrounded by über-cool Scandinavian design... I think I like Sweden.

Perth hot chocolate

Before I forget, I did manage to grab an interesting hot chocolate before I left Perth, in this case it was the Mexican Chilli Hot Chocolate at the Wild Fig cafe on the coast near North Beach.

It was a little feisty as far as chilli hot chocolate goes, it's got a real kick to it (by comparison Koko Black's was more of a subtle hint of chilli). I'm a bit of a chilli fan so I stuck it out but some other people asked for theirs to be diluted with normal hot chocolate to bring it back to something pleasantly drinkable.

I'm looking forward to checking out the hot chocolates in Europe (Italy, Belgium and Switzerland, I'm looking at you) so this won't be the last hot chocolate-related post in the next few months.

I'm over here now too

That's the view from the passenger window of a Townace hurtling from London to Newcastle at fairly sluggish speeds. You can follow that Townace, and the rest of us, over at Hilarity100.

Because every European holiday deserves its own website.
