You know how last week I mentioned that the European heatwave was heading Berlin’s way? Well, it has well and truly arrived. Berliners have been sweltering this weekend. Temperatures have pushed into the high thirties and have combined with a heavy humidity that has left us all sticky and sleepy. In Australia in the middle of summer, I’d never feel uncomfortable, because I’d just switch the air conditioning on. But in Germany, the vast majority of apartments, bars, restaurants and public transport do not have cooling systems! Because it’s just as hot inside as outside, I’ve spent much of the weekend out and about, sipping on drinks by the Spree and picnicking in the shady park trying to keep cool. Oh, and I attended a fab Street Art tour and workshop too. It was very hot but lots of fun. Keep your eyes on Instagram this week for some pics!
Here are this week’s favourite links:

Stay cool kids! x
