      Delft Blue and White

      17 czerwca 2022, Holandia ⋅ ⛅ 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). Czytaj więcej

      Amsterdam /Campingplatz Schooneberg

      20 maja 2023, Holandia ⋅ ⛅ 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🚴‍♀️) Czytaj więcej

      Von Gouda nach Delft auf Stellplatz des Campingplatzes Delftse Hout. 29€ incl. Strom und Benutzung der erstklassigen Sanitäranlagen. Mir dem Bike bei kaltem Gegenwind entlang div. Highways nach Scheveningen.

      Early morning last look at Delft

      11 listopada 2022, Holandia ⋅ ⛅ 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 maja 2023, Holandia ⋅ ☀️ 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. Czytaj więcej

      Delft Christmas Lights

      10 listopada 2022, Holandia ⋅ ☁️ 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. Czytaj więcej

      Nieuwe Kerk (New Church), Delft

      19 kwietnia 2023, Holandia ⋅ ⛅ 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.

      Delightful Delft

      10 listopada 2022, Holandia ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

      On the advice of the receptionist we headed towards the centre of Delft as there is a market every Thursday of food and other stuff! It was about a 10 minute stroll into the Centrum. We passed so many beautiful houses and canals, the place has a real “fairytale” feel about it. There is a beautifully maintained city hall and a number of churches scattered about as well. In the marketplace we came upon a lovely store where they hand paint most of their products. I bought a couple of beautiful Christmas decorations and a small vase.

      After our retail therapy session we wandered around the market a bit, but decided we needed to find a restaurant for lunch as we both were feeling hungry after our early start and small breakfast. We found a lovely place called Het Konings Huys (House of the King) where Brigitte had a steak and chips and I had fish and chips with salad and we had a lovely bottle of Malbec with the meal.

      After lunch we wandered around the market a bit more, I got some delicious liquorice and then we went to a cheese man where we were able to try some delicious cheeses. Brigitte ended up buying over 3 kilos of cheese and it is all absolutely delicious. The other food item Brigitte gets from Holland is their strope waffles which are a couple of flat waffles with sugar syrup in the middle, very nice but need to eat in moderation.

      There was a very talented busker performing at the market, he had a wonderful voice, I could have stayed and listened to him for ever. We continued wandering around the lovely narrow streets, crossing over quaint bridges and enjoying the sites. Our last stop was at De Candelaar & De Blauwe Tulp Pottery where I bought a pendant and met the artist who painted it.

      We then headed back to the hotel to have a bit of down time.

      Maria van Jessekerk, Delft

      19 kwietnia 2023, Holandia ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

      We managed to visit one more church before calling it a day (of course we did). The Maria van Jessekerk is the inner city church of the Ursula parish and has the longest history. Where the priestly choir is now, there was already a Roman Catholic church in 1733. The church was designed by Everard Margry, pupil of the well-known architect Pierre Cuypers and Margry has paid a lot of attention to details. For example, the left tower resembles that of the New Church, while the design for the right tower is derived from that of the Oude Kerk.

      Inside this church is very different to the old and the new church we visited earlier today. The walls are covered with beautiful coloured murals, the stained glass windows sparkle from all sides, the ancient pulpit and altarpiece, icons and the Maarschalkerweerd organ are so detailed and interesting. It is a rich tapestry of light and colour and we were so glad we popped in to check it out.

      We have spent a wonderful day exploring Delft and its beautiful laneways and canals but we’re happy to call it a day as the wind picked up and the weather turned colder.

      Beestenmarkt, Delft

      19 kwietnia 2023, Holandia ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

      The church itself is situated in the main square in Delft, Markt. At the opposite end of the church is the stunning City Hall. This building is breathtaking, as everywhere you looked there was something more to see and admire, another angle to photograph, another feature to be impressed by. With the church at one end and City Hall at the other, it is easy to see why this is the main square. There was so much to look at.

      Brad needed a breather after his strenuous climb so we made our way to the nearby Beestenmarkt, a beautiful square filled with bars and restaurants, and the perfect place to stop and enjoy our surroundings. It was so enjoyable being sat in the sunshine enjoying an antipasto platter with a local wine for me and beer for Brad. This is one of the things we love about travelling - the down time to sit back and people watch and just enjoy our surroundings. It has been a bit hard to do that too much so far on this trip due to the cold weather but hopefully as it gets warmer we will have more and more of these days.
