Flensburg

We've been visiting Flensburg, which was very very cold (argh!) put very pretty nonetheless. When I go to the central part of Flensburg for shopping, I always take the bus, but not to the closest bus stop, but the bus stop that gives the prettiest view!




The main shopping street has been looking like this for quite a while now, unfortunately:



One of the things we did this time, was checking-out backyards, as a lot of them are incredibly pretty. Why can't Copenhagen make something similar...?

I have been reading Haruki Murakami's book Kafka on the Shore. Which is one of the most amazing books I have read ever! I love the two main characters, Kafka and Nakata, and their separate stories, spiralling together. And I really enjoy the magic parts of the book. As an author you can write about everything your brain can come up with, why stick to realism? Why not write about some mackerel, falling from the sky!
