Last week we've been on a short holiday in Amsterdam, one of my favourite places. Since it was our last just-the-two-of-us holiday, we've booked a really nice hotel room here at Hotel Arena. Including breakfast in bed, of course.

This time, we took lots of trips to places outside the big city. One day, we went to Haarlem which is a fabulous little town. We had lunch at a combined shop/eatery/church/exhibition center which is partly run by disabled people. Food was delicious, by the way:

After the city we went to the sea. It was cloudy, sunny, a bit windy but just warm enough.

Oh, and I got a fabulous bike at a huge bike store some 50 km from Amsterdam which was a recommendation from a Dutch colleague of mine:
You see me in pleasant anticipation of my light turquoise Oma Fiets (granny bike) with brown leather handles. Pictures to follow!
