Where did the Time Go

After a busy summer in China, I thought to relax and take things slowly. But then, I visited two mountain ranges, enjoyed two famous capitals, had a few small adventures in between, and suddenly it's the middle of November. What?

I headed to Scotland, and going through Paris was cheap and convenient. So, I took the opportunity to use the layover to cross off two things I had on my travel bucket list for ages: First, the Montparnasse Tower. The observation deck on its roof, to be more precise.

There's a sweet view of the city.

The second thing was to check out the Sainte-Chapelle, a 13th-century Gothic marvel.

And stuff I saw around wasn't dull either.

Then, up in Scotland, I stopped by Dundee (and made a separate post with pics from there). I also got to wander through Slovakia, meeting with good people and places I haven't seen in ages.

Bratislava

..but also visiting some new ones, in the country's tallest mountains.

Tatry Mountains <3

halo. a thing you don't see every day

a happy place, one of..

I had another layover in Amsterdam. It was around 6pm, and I had a few hours to spare between the flights, so I went for a walk and dinner.

Every time I am in the Netherlands, I am pleased with the architecture, the evening light, and the general visual vibe. Too bad that it's not any good when you want to live there. But I didn't have to worry about it too much, as the transfer came in no time.

The other mountain range I got to see was the Jizera Mountains in Czechia. Not as prominent as Tatry, but very pretty nonetheless. Always nice to return here.

Black Creek waterfalls.

Forest covered, wild-ish, and pretty.

Meanwhile...

Technology is falling apart on me, but looking at a price point of new hardware, I deployed some gaff tape and stuff instead; replaced a few bits; and hopefully, it will keep working a few more..
