Yes, so I spent the weekend in the Netherlands; land of tulip fields, wooden shoes and ice skating... Well... ok... so I didn't see any of those three :) which means I'll have to define it with other things I did see such as: REALLY tall people (or I'm just REALLY small), Gouda (don't be tricked, it tastes just the same! Well... that kind did anyway) and Bikes !!! (I think they have a real bike infestation, I can't believe I'm saying this but I think there's more bikes in the Netherlands than pigeons in Paris...)
There were other cool things such as a "normal" ferry crossing; as you get to the end of the road, you run into a ferry (I mean really... quite normal!), drive on board, flip the man a coin, one minute later get off on the other side. Voila! (Why don't they build a bridge you ask? Hmm... I dunno... maybe to let ships go by?)
We also went for a late evening bike ride to the dike which I did like (another tongue twister coming up?) and got to see this mooi sunset! (see first picture and check out what mooi means! Ask google, he knows)
AND NOW! A game of "spot the jerk"! Try to find me at the bike waiting rack of Utrecht train station (Guess what... I still have a spare Dubai magnet if you find me!!! :D)
These were a few of the fun things (without forgetting that I didn't share about Music, Church, Shopping, Eating, Weather, Museum visit and so forth) that I did during my short visit.
I stayed at an awesome dutch family's house (well, I meant the family was awesome, not the house, but the house was ok too!), which is the family of my friend Maria from the Logos Hope, cause I needed to find someone that spoke local Hopian... Did me a lot of good! :)
As for our Saturday it was entirely invested in making... you guessed it... (or not) CHOCOLATES!!!
Here we are hard at work... we came up with 17 different kinds and made about 137 of em!
Here's one of them called "Cœur d'Encre", you can ask me for our catalogue to order some, but we don't take orders under 500 pieces... (per kind)
