Saturday market, the perfect day

Today

We went to the Saturday market with Heikki. He took some really nice pictures.

So, pictures by Heikki Kynsijärvi

My breakfast. Organic Feta Spinach pie! Super yummy.

Went up to the V&D -cafe (outside terrace) for an iced tea!

After, tried some pancake thingies which were yummyyyy!

I had never visited the central big big church of Haarlem but today I got lucky as they had a free concert inside. It was amazing!

Heikki's pictures are always a pleasure to look at. Amazing camera and amazing camera work.

So, now the Linda's pictures -section...haha.

After visiting the church I met up with Tina to do some groceries and go to the lake.

I can't believe how lucky I've been with the weather. And for so long now!

We bumped into Chris, Koen, Raymond, Melanie, Ruth and their friends. Later Roeland also joined with his friend.

Perfect Saturday!

Days like these just make you love life to its' most.

Rome Rooma Roma

I spent last week in Rome with my friend J-P!

The weather was amazing. The architecture was super. The food was yummy.

More posts coming up, but here day one with my pictures.

DAY 1

So, we went to Rome without no idea of accommodation or...anything. Neither of us had actually read anything about the city. And only a few hours before JP's flight left my mum asked us if we were even flying to the same airport. Yea. I didn't even think there would be more than one airport. Thankfully we flew to the same one.

We took a bus from the Fiumicino airport to the center and started our hotel/hostel search.

The first thing I realized was I was wearing tooo much cloooothes. But the second thing I noticed was that the locals were wearing WAY too much clothes. Hey seriously, +30°C and a thick coat? Mum taught me to wear warm clothes but...she also taught me discretion.

We did not get in trouble. Just lost. Rome felt reaaally really confusing at first.

First pizza of the trip. Love Linda who used to hate pizza.

Finally, after searching searching and searching for a hostel/hotel we talked to a guy at a restaurant who called his friend and arranged a room for us for 50€ right in the center! We were searching for something even more cheaper but after all the walking around with our backpacks, yeah, 50€ was a great deal.

And it was time to check out other places than the China-town of Rome.

Probably my favorite building out of all touristic attractions in Rome.

We saw quite a lot that evening. In the end, Rome is really easy and nice to walk around. Many historical buildings right next to one and other. We walked soooo much. Blisters...

PS:

The coolest thing in Rome is definitely their water system! Anyone can drink...anywhere!

Amazingggg.

Song of the day:

Mocktail

Today is the 1st of April. We hope you haven't been fooled.

We are having slight trouble naming this post...so many great choices.

Thanks to Jonas S. we have title varieties from:

"Lets go F***IN' mental" to "Lets play Die Hard!"

...but we've decided to go with "Mocktail".

We hope everybody enjoyed the "cocktail" we ever so kindly provided.

As Chris said, "It's so dangerous because it doesn't taste like alcohol AT ALL."

The secret ingredients consists of:

Mocktail -the mental drink

- the cheapest sprite available from the cheap shop next to Action (which is the best shop ever. Action we mean. Previous post here.)

- the cheapest apple+peach juice from that same shop

- a lime and lemon

- water

Tasty, hhu?

The making of:

Patronaat

"Karen, dare me to take some ice!"

YYEEEE!! shhh

"Koen, there is free beer upstairs!!!"

Finally took a visit on time to our best friends' place. Food.

Afterparty a.k.a. Die Hard -pyjama party

MENTAL

Thanks for the hair-do, Jonas S.

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!

At least in Holland we still have 14min left to do some pranks.

Linda, Karen and Vendela
