Bird's eye view in New York City

Via here

Today I’m daydreaming of the sprawling views of the NYC concrete jungle that Wiets and I will experience in a couple of weeks when we visit Top of the Rock at the Rockefeller Center.

11 Days to take-off!

Eat Riga - on cycles!


We have booked ourselves a food-beer-balsams tour in Riga, Latvia… On cycles! We know very little about Latvian cuisine, but after reading this piece on their website we are intruiged:

“Pork, cabbage and potatos” you might think! Well, we want to show you that the traditional stereotype of post Soviet cuisine is wrong. Sure we’ll eat some pickled gherkins, but just wait and see what we have in store for you!

Check out the cool tours the offer in Riga (a city that apparently operates 24/7): http://www.eatriga.lv

We’re thinking we’re going to like this one J
