Today we had a nice lunch in Baambrugge, the day started nice and sunny, but they didn't tell me that the sun had taken a half day off this Saturday 🤨😄 and before lunch the blue skies were over, but we still managed to enjoy a radiant morning and importantly... apart from a few light drizzle showers

I had to pop over to the Praxis supermarket in Amsterdam South-East to get building materials that fit in my inside pocket 😆 So, a quick stroll, and while I'm in that corner, a construction burger seems like the obvious choice. After all, the job must never be jeopardized, and so I had to eat well

A beautiful day for a similar run... it was chilly on the coast, but the cold northerly wind was thankfully offset by some lovely sunshine. If you managed to stay out of the wind, the Amsterdam Water Supply Dunes were pure bliss. For the last three kilometers along the beach back to Zandvoort, I had

If you're discovering 's-Hertogenbosch for the first time, do it in style. A more beautiful moment than the start of Carnival weekend is unthinkable, as far as I'm concerned, I know now...

Like so many other home rounds, today was once again a watery event with the rivers Waver, Winkel, Gein, Angstel, Abcoudermeer, Holendrecht and finally Bullewijk, where we also started from Ouderkerk a/d Amstel.

Up to Loenersloot, it was all a piece of cake for me, but after that, the Angstelpad and the beautiful polder landscape between Nieuwer ter Aa, Portengen, and Breukelen were new to me. Despite

A delightful and varied walk through and along forests, heathlands, country estates, ponds, rivers, meadows, polders, charming villages, canals, and lakes... there's not much more you can do in one tour. With these beautiful impressions, I've made up for it with a train ticket to Bussem-Zuid, even on

I wanted to be home a bit early today, and with a slightly shorter walk, fewer photos, and a good walk to stay warm, I managed just fine! 🔥😅👋

A beautiful Saturday that started cold but quickly turned into almost spring-like temperatures, and several items of clothing quickly disappeared into my backpack. This morning I cleverly used the temporary bridge next to the A9 to reach the other side of the Amstel River (it's still there until January
