Great pics there Snowman! Have to organise a hook up soon to shoot the shit. Coffee?
Oh, and I don't put out on the first date! Hahaa! Just kidding

This is the end of my world tour folks. It's been great having you along and sharing Sydney and my life with you all. I feel like I only brushed the surface of the city, really covering 2-3 areas well, and leaving out massive swathes of it. However, such has been my life for the month. I hope you've enjoyed a slice of Sydney as it transitions to Spring, it was a great time of year, and I'm humbled and thankful that I've been able to part-take in this world tour.
I'll get a final macro set up during the week if light allows hopefully. After that they'll be off to their home in Gosport, UK.
Speaking of Gosport, at some point during the tour I figured the below - I couldn't think of a better way to end my active tour. (Taken yesterday).
From Gosport St, Cronulla, Sydney, NSW, Australia to Gosport, UK, off they shall go.
(That was trying to keep my shirt straight @ the same time as pointing @ the sign, neither worked, but you all know it's IH-Gosport ) -
Very fitting finale to a superb leg. I'm sure the whole community here is as sad as I am that it's already over. Was this really four weeks already? Who has turned the clocks?
-
Indeed!! Bravo!

Yeah, awesome leg, Snowy.

501, it makes a huge difference to taste. The same coffee ground correctly for the brew method, and then brewed in 4-5 different brew methods will taste quite different. Some notes will be the same, but they accentuate different characteristics. I'd be very surprised if there's not at least a few places doing siphon in Germany. I've got mates who used to drink Chemex filter coffee in Berlin last year, so imagine it is about. Maybe one for you to investigate when you've got a few hours free at some point :).
You are, of course, right. I googled, and there's a coffee bar in Kreuzberg opened in December 2011 that does all the coffee procedures I only noticed from your post, incl. Chemex, aeropress, and yes, siphon. I'll go there when I'm next in the area.

The steam?

Beautiful, just beautiful end shots. Oh, that urge to wear those beauties again…
Has Soba crawled into the right leg? She really does seem to appreciate the WTs almost as much as us human wearers do... -
Can't quite believe how long ago my leg in the tour already is in the past. Now stumbling onto the old SD Card with the pics stored on it, AND temporary access to a "real" computer with uploading potential, I figured I could do at least a mini docu to finally, with only two years or so overtime, fulfill the forfeited promise of showing some pics.
So this is how I got them. In Berlin's DC4 of fond memory, where FOXY had deposited them for me. Pics were taken by none other than the very man himself, Daniel, DC4's owner.
And since I of course immediately start reminiscing about this beloved haunt of high end denim, here's a shop view that I took on the occasion.
This sweet little detail tells quite a story….the box with discarded pieces from serial hemming jobs, each and every one done with Daniel's signature perfection.
And this "historical" post would not be complete without this view:
Apologies again for having taken such extravagant time to do this, naturally several readers won't have an idea what I'm talking about here…but there's the thread, well worth a revisit.
This is a case of better late than never! -
Among the most noteworthy occasions the jeans got to see while they were here in Berlin, was the annual vintage car show on the Kurfürstendamm, the famous boulevard in the western part of the city.
Here's a few impressions, without the jeans in picture alas.
Perhaps the car aficionados among you will enjoy this, I know zilch about cars, hence no further comment…
