Just got some pictures developed. Here’s some.

Today I went to the weirdest museum I’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 don’t have pictures of those so they’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.

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) 🌸 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.

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.

Christiaan and I went to Maastricht in a single Sunday. It was quite hot and I got a sunburn. Didn’t expect that. Next time I’ll be more careful.

In Eindhoven.

I went to Utrecht, which turned out to be one of the loveliest cities in the Netherlands I’ve been to so far. It’s picturesque, has canals and felt lively.

I saw real life snowing for many days for the first time. It was also one of the coldest Februaries in the Netherlands over the past years.
