Gemeente De Ronde Venen

This was a relaxing day, we said a “see you soon” to Paul and Myra as we knew we’d be back in Eindhoven on Friday evening and then Tom drove us to Amsterdam where we would be staying at his apartment with his roommates. On the way he took us on a tour through the original Breukelen campus of his prestigious university where he studied his Masters. We got a full guided tour from Tom around the library, the buildings, the castle (with moat and drawbridge) plus the beautiful canals and green lands where some deer and wildlife roamed too. We enjoyed the rest of the short drive to Tom’s apartment in the South West of Amsterdam right near groceries, pharmacies, tram lines - everything we needed within a 5min walk. We did a quick run the the supermarket to get food, as Tom had been away on holiday so the fridge was empty - then had some homemade sandwiches and chilled out for a while. While Tom worked for the afternoon, V and I cooked a roast chicken meal for dinner and shared this with Tom and Nout which made it feel really homely for us. We planned out some things to do the next day as Tom had some free days in his schedule to share with us, and then hit the hay. (Tom let us stay in his bed while he crashed on the couch downstairs for which we were very grateful for ❤️)Read more
