9. We’re in Sweden here – Northern Sweden, to be precise, along the Gulf of Bothnia. I was here to have a look at the unusual landscape at Höga kusten (High Coast), and was surprised to notice the numerous American vintage cars up here.

2. About 1.5 hours south-east of Berlin, on both sides of the Neisse River which marks the border between Germany and Poland, is Muskauer Park / Park Mużakowski. A gorgeous place for a stroll or a bike ride and even spending the night.
