• Mindfulness and Dignita Hoftuin

  

  I am going to share a secret with you; a delightful hangout joint that serves fresh yummy grub. Dignita Hoftuin right next to the Hermitage museum is my new favorite space in the city. I love the location, the food, and most of all the indulgent very “un-Amsterdam” service. Dignita Hoftuin offers a relaxed vibe […]

• Oh, Stop It Holland!

  

  Oh, Stop It Holland! Just stop being so very gorgeous all the time. We drove to Keukenhof on a rainy morning. The pitter patter of drops and a chilly wind gathering speed. Having been to the famous garden ten years ago, and then repeatedly with various visitors, I wondered if it would hold its irrepressible appeal […]

• Cherry Blossoms in Amsterdamse Bos

  

  Bambi (resident 10yo) and I put on our walking shoes, strapped on our backpacks, grabbed our picnic lunch, and headed off to see the Cherry Blossoms at the Kersenbloesempark located in the forest or the Amsterdamse Bos. The trek from Amsterdam, via Metro and two bus changes, to the Amstelveen side of the Bos was confusing […]

• Day Two: Visit to the Kroller Muller museum

  

  On the second day of our weekend in Oosterbeek we went to the Kroller Muller museum. Set in the Hoge Veluwe forest, the museum is in my opinion, the perfect way to view art. It houses the second largest Vincent van Gogh collection in the world: “almost 90 paintings and more than 180 drawings.” Along with […]
