      Delft Blue and White

      17. juni 2022, Holland ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

      We visited the city of Delft in the Netherlands. So so cute and village-like. I painted my own porcelain tile which I was really proud of!! I wouldn’t consider myself a very creative or artistically talented person so when I do something artsy I’m automatically proud!!! It was a SUPER warm day, but we strolled around and learned about the history of delft (slightly dark history), and had a yummy lunch right near the center square, ice cream, and stopped to get raisin bread at the city’s 1st bakery. Everything in this city is a little photo op and much slower paced than Amsterdam (as expected).Læs mere

      Amsterdam /Campingplatz Schooneberg

      20. maj 2023, Holland ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      Nach der Ankunft am Hauptbhnhof 🏨machen wir nur einen Kurztrip durch Amsterdam um einen ersten Eindruck zu gewinnen ....da wir ja die letzten 1-2 Tage vor der Rückreise noch für genauere Erkundung der Stadt Zeit haben....die Menschenmenge und Menge an unterschiedlichen Fahrrädern sind schon Beeindruckend ....zb Lastenräder jeder Art sogar Kinder werden damit transportiert ,Klappräder Rennräder E Bike usw. Erstaunlich ist wie schnell die mit den Dingern flitzen, es wird kurz geklingelt und dann einfach vorbeigesaust .. ...wir machen uns dann auf Richtung Küste zu unserer ersten Unterkunft Naturcampingplatz Schooneberg Das Wetter meint es sehr gut mit uns, heute fast ganzen Nachmittag Sonnenschein🌞. Je näher wir Richtung Küste kommen spürt man auch die Zunahme des Windes .Der Fahrradweg führt uns durch ein Industriegebiet mit unzählige Firmen bis wir die Stadt hinter uns lassen können dieser Teil hat uns weniger gefallen obwohl der Fahrradweg sehr gut ausgebaut ist .Am Campingplatz angekommen wird uns ein sehr schöner Zeltplatz mitten im Wald zugewiesen nachdem das Zelt aufgebaut war fahren wir noch in die Stadt IJmuiden um Getränke und Essbares zu besorgen ...nach einer heißen Dusch 🛀 wird ein ausgiebiges Picknick gemacht .Zum Campingplatz gehört noch ein kleiner See wo wir noch spazieren gehen und den Abend ausklingen lassen ...Sehr früh legen wir uns heute ins Bett ....Sind einfach Saumüde 😘🤗( Heute ca 40km🚴‍♀️)Læs mere

      Delft - Prinshof Museum

      1. juni, Holland ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      This is the former convent where William of Orange, the Father of the Netherlands, hid from a vengeful King Phillip II of Spain. (Catholics can hold a grudge)

      William survived one assassination attempt in Antwerp, but did not survive the 2nd attempt here in Delft. A French assassin shot him after a meal.

      The current King of the Netherlands is a direct descendant

      Early morning last look at Delft

      11. november 2022, Holland ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

      After a good nights sleep we were up pretty early. We had a delicious breakfast at the Hotel - another big tick as the options for breakfast were huge and it was all fantastic. As we had some time we thought we would do a little bit more of a wander around the town. I had discovered a few squares and areas while looking at the Christmas lights, so we returned to some of these areas and discovered some others. Next time I would like to spend at least 3 days in Delft and see it all.

      After checking out of the hotel we headed to the train station, a whopping 5 minute walk! On arrival we discover there has been an accident car vs train and so there is pandemonium as so many trains have been cancelled or delayed. Luckily Brigitte went to speak to someone who advised us to get to Rotterdam and then jump on a train to Brussels MIDI which is what we did. Our tickets seemed to work so all good.

      There was a couple sitting in front of me who was talking about getting off the train in Antwerp to see the station, but because of the accident trains were being diverted around Antwerp Centraal. I told them that this was the case and then Donny and I chatted for the next 2.5 hours whilst his husband slept. He was a lovely guy from Florida and he and his hubby are hoping to buy a place in Valencia, Spain and retire in the next 4-5 years. They were just doing a side trip to Brugge before heading back to Amsterdam and then flying to Valencia to spend a couple of weeks there to experience life in “the hood”.

      We exchanged email details so maybe one day we will catch up somewhere, I suspect that they like to have a good time.

      We arrived in MIDI a little after 1.15pm and caught the train out to Ottiginies where Stef picked us up. We had a late lunch of cheese sandwiches which was great. We decided to go out to the local brasserie in Wavre where we both had steak - my first one this trip and it was fantastic and we both had an early night as we were exhausted after our week of travelling.

      Delft ist so schön

      27. maj 2023, Holland ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      Ich hatte ja keine Ahnung wie groß und schön dieses Städtchen ist. Die Fassaden, kleinen Geschäfte und der Flohmarkt sind sehr beeindruckend. Auf dem Flohmarkt haben wir nur alte Antiquitäten gesehen und bei vielen wurden altbekannte Erinnerungen geweckt.Læs mere

      Delft Christmas Lights

      10. november 2022, Holland ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      As most people would know I love, love, love everything related to Christmas. As the lights and decorations were up around town I took the opportunity to stroll around Delft and see this beautiful city all a glow. I was not disappointed. I won’t label any of the photos as it is obvious they are decorations.Læs mere

      Delft 1

      13. september 2019, Holland ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      Delft ist eine kleine, von Kanälen gesäumte Stadt nicht, weit entfernt von Rotterdam. Bekannt ist es für seine handbemalten blauweißen Keramiken, die hier hergestellt werden. Außerdem hat Delft eine ganz allerliebste und gemütliche Altstadt und genau deshalb soll unser Ausflug heute dorthin gehen.
      Mit Tram und Bahn kommen wir hin, alles ganz einfach - eine freundliche Schaffnerin verkauft uns Straßenbahntickets, Google zeigt uns den Weg und der Automat am Hauptbahnhof spuckt unsere Fahrkarten aus 👍.
      Nun sind wir da und merken sofort - Hauptverkehrsmittel ist das Fahrrad. Also aufgepasst, immer und überall! Doch nicht so gemütlich hier 😉.
      Aber schon an der nächsten Ecke merken wir, Delft ist richtig schön! Und das Beste - kaum andere Touris, ganz im Gegensatz zu gestern, also doch gemütlich 🤓! Schaut auf die Fotos, dann wisst ihr, was ich meine.

      Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles, Delft

      20. april 2023, Holland ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      Today we visited the Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles which translates to The Porcelain Jar, and is also known as the Royal Delft factory. Founded in 1635, it is the last remaining active earthenware factory of the original thirty-two factories that operated in Delft during the 17th century. Delftware production has been in continuous operation here for over 350 years with the story of Royal Delft dating back to the year 1653 when the production of the unique Delft Blue earthenware began in the Netherlands. It was inspired by blue painted porcelain brought back from China which was unique and never seen before in Europe. So began a love affair for the Dutch and the Delft Blue porcelain.

      Nowadays, antique collectors recognize that delftware produced by De Porceleyne Fles, (also known as Royal Delft) is the gold standard in delftware. The earthenware produced at Koninkliike Porceleyne Fles is individually coded with a factory mark, item number, artist's initials, a date code, and even a certificate of authenticity.

      Visiting the factory was such an interesting and informative visit and the way the information is presented is engaging. We got to walk through the factory and see the process of creating these beautiful pieces. It so understandable why each piece is so expensive. I fell in love with the porcelain houses but at €245 each, I had to make do with some cheaper replicas.

      Also on display in the Royal Delft Factory was an art display called Flowers in Blue by Bas Meeuws, a digital artist who created stunning pieces on acrylic of gorgeous floral arrangements in the beautiful Delftware vases. The colours were so vibrant and the pieces of art were stunning. It is fantastic seeing artists being featured in the historic places in Delft, such a contrast between old and new. Delft certainly sets the standard when it comes to amalgamation between history and our modern era. It has really impressed us.

      Nieuwe Kerk (New Church), Delft

      19. april 2023, Holland ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      Next stop for the day was Nieuwe Kerk, the new church, which is still a very old church. Formally the Church of Saint Ursula, this 14th century church is the burial place of the princes of Orange. In 1584 William the Silent was entombed here in a mausoleum where the members of the House of Orange-Nassau have since been entombed. The latest royals to be buried in the Royal Crypt were Queen Juliana and her husband Prince Bernhard in 2004.

      The church itself is an elaborately designed architectural monument with twenty-two columns which surround the marble tomb of William of Orange. Legend has it that the small statue of a dog at the prince's feet starved to death following the tragic death of its owner, the prince. All around the church are memorabilia from the Dutch Royal family including paintings, and stained glass windows. The painted wooden ceiling over the marble tomb is simple yet eye-catching as once again the walls of this church are unadorned except for art work and stained glass windows. There is such a strong feeling in the simplicity of this space.

      Once again the history and meaning behind the stained glass windows, the tombs, sculptures and art work is clearly explained and we learnt a lot about the history of the royal family.

      Part of our admission ticket was the option to climb the 380 spiral worn wooden steps of the church tower. With my phobia of stairs that aren’t stable, I had to give it a miss but Brad made the climb up. Even he said it was a bit confronting. Thankfully he managed to grab some photos of the amazing view over the town and I managed to photograph him at the top. The church tower is the second highest in the Netherlands and Brad climbed a long way up. He was happy to get back to solid ground.

      Streets of Delft

      19. april 2023, Holland ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

      After ticking off our first church for the day we made the most of the unexpected sunshine and strolled the streets of Delft, finding our bearings while oohing and ahhhing over the beautiful and interesting buildings and sights. We passed the only remaining windmill, which was under construction so we did not go in, we wandered down alleys with eye-catching street art, crossed canals with flowers just starting to bloom on the banks and stopped at one of the many Delftware shops in town for a yummy morning tea tart and coffee.Læs mere
