๐Ÿ“ธ These are some of my photos. Check the archive for a gallery view.

Capturing Leiden

Some months ago I went to Leiden, took some pictures and stored them in my hard drive. However, I’ve used some of these as wallpapers lately, such as the one with the fish ๐ŸŸ. I thought it would be nice to share as I think they’re quite pleasant!

Kunstmuseum, Den Haag

Today I went to the weirdest museum Iโ€™ve been lately, the Kunstmuseum in The Hague. There were many wicked artworks. Fortunately there were also very pleasing ones. The best ones were the kinectic sculptures by Theo Jansen that you could interact with - I donโ€™t have pictures of those so theyโ€™re not shared here.

My friends and I ended up having lunch very late (at 5pm) in Rotterdam where we ate Turkish, Greek, Portuguese and some Russian things. A lot. But a nice day.

๐ŸŒธ A Visit to the Bloesempark

A few days ago, my boyfriend invited my go to the Bloesempark in Amsterdamse Bos. Unfortunately, I won’t be in the Netherlands next weekend so I cannot go. However, since the idea of going to a park with around 400 japanese cherry blossom trees (Sakura trees) ๐ŸŒธ was too enticing, I gathered some friends and visited yesterday.

We traveled by train from Eindhoven to Amsterdam ArenA. We immediately saw that was not the best idea so we continued to Amsterdam Zuid and rented some OV-fiets there. It was my first time using an OV-fiets and I must say: they run very smoothly. But their brakes? Horrible.

We biked to and through the Amsterdamse Bos until we reached the Bloesempark and oh my gosh. So many people. Considering that there are around 400 trees there, I’m sure there was way more than one person per tree. There were also people dressed with some traditional dresses. It was incredible! Anyways, here’s some photos from yesterday.

Steel Wool

Last night there was an activity by Dekate Mousa, where we were able to take some nice pictures of fire breathing and steel wool spinning. I am very sorry that the fire is blown out, but I still like it!

Maastricht II

Maastricht turned out to be quite a magical little city close to the border with Belgium. There was a lot of greenery and old buildings.
