Yet, it was still Sunday so we weren't in a rush, so we awoke slowly and meandered to Amersfoort train station, where we caught a train in to Amsterdam central to see some of the best modern art The … Continue reading MODERN ART IN MUSEUM SQUARE | AMSTERDAM DAY 2 | WEEKEND WANDERING

It was a temporary … Continue reading BOND AND BAKERIES | ROTTERDAM | WEEKEND WANDERING
In December of last year (2014), I took a trip to see my very good friend, Karolina, who lives in Amersfoort.
