Afternoon sun in Potsdam

Enjoying the sun and a beer in Potsdam. If the house in the top picture was mine, I would move to Potsdam in a second.

I've been to Potsdam several times before, but didn't really enjoy it - it reminded me too much of Sweden with all the clean streets and low pastel buildings. But now after 5+ years away from Sweden, I kind of appreciate it again. Good thing, I like to like stuff ;)

Sanssouci Park

Sanssocui Park in Potsdam, lovely place to be on a weekday when no one else is there.

Potsdam - another world

Potsdam is so different from Berlin, just a short train ride away.

Let me take you on a surprise trip

A couple of weeks ago I woke up and said to Johan Let me take you on a surprise trip.


An S-Bahn ride and we ended up in pastel town, Potsdam.


Breathing fresh air, something I never really cared about before. Things are changing a lot inside of me (no, I'm not pregnant, nor will I ever be).


We started with a stroll in the Dutch quarter.


To visit Buena Vida Coffee Club. I remember last time I was in Potsdam I asked on instagram if anyone knew a place for tasty coffee there and only got answers about places in Berlin. Now finally there is a very very good café.


Be nice or go away - I couldn't agree more.


Very tasty Flat White and the day could continue, I have many many many pictures to show.

A day in Potsdam

The other day Johan and I went to Potsdam, a place I recommend every Berlin visitor if you have the time. It's such a nice contrast to Berlin's (lovely) roughness; Potsdam is cute, pastel coloured and filled with castles.

I hope you all look forward to the new year!
Happy 2013!!

Cheers!

Ps. If you have any wishes on what to see on my blog in the future, let me know and I'll keep it in mind. Will finally take time to scan and post film photos from 2012 in January (yippie!) :)

Castle Carefree

Since I moved to Berlin, Potsdam is the furthest away I've been so far. And it's not far away. 45 minutes train ride from where I live. Took my parents (& my sister and her man) there to show them Schloß Sanssouci. Now I'm taking you there as well, welcome!
