We parked the car at Nationaal Monument Kamp Vught and visited the museum from there. Mirjam and I have seen many of these kinds of locations, but it always makes a huge impression. The museum is soberly and tastefully decorated, with many interactive elements and an impressive collection.

Later this year, a tough walk is on the agenda. It's all on normal roads, so heavy boots aren't necessary. If you have to walk for 20 hours, every gram you leave at home helps. Today I tested new light shoes on a loop to the supermarket.

Mirjam Hoekstra still had some unfinished business in Deurne. Don't immediately think of gangsters, because she was going to pick up a festive outfit at Addy's.
I skipped an afternoon and joined as a chaperone, adding a nice walk.
Lovely forest paths and beautiful little lakes and ponds.
The sun did its

In the spring of 2024, I did the alley walk for the first time with @Mirjamhoekstra. We did it based on the fun and informative booklet that you can buy at the tourist office. With Paul, I did the walk at night last year, which provided a completely different experience.
I have adjusted the route in a

On Friday I had been with @Paul in this area, unknown to me. Really very nice. So nice that I went back there today with Mirjam.
No deer this time but butterflies, a hare, a pheasant and many species of waterfowl,
Recommended!

On the afternoon program was this nice town, which is mainly known for its "jenever" (Dutch gin). I don't like "jenever" myself, but the "jenever" museum is said to be a must for enthusiasts.
For us, the choice naturally fell on Schiedam because it has been a fortress town in the past. Not part of any

Up early this morning for a walk to our daughter and son-in-law. It was certainly worth it, because they had gone to a lot of trouble for the Easter breakfast! After coffee, back home to put on the hiking boots for the 'real' work.
The plan was the Zwarte Stern/Berkenwoudse Driehoek, but the Kattendijk

With @Mirjamhoekstra and a group of friends, we spent a weekend in Lille. On Saturday, we did this city walk including: Porte de Gand, Birthplace of De Gaulle, The Zoo (small but nice), The Citadel, Monument of the carrier pigeon (fascinating why!!!), Old town. Lit a candle in that magnificent cathedral

Go buy ducks in my city. Of course by metro because as much as I like Rotterdam... driving in that city is not fun and parking is unaffordable. Plus the metro is just relaxing.

I was able to get out really quickly because the weather was really lovely. Hardly any wind and plenty of sun. For nature lovers, the small lake (see map) is especially recommended. Bird lovers in particular will be in their element here.

Wandeling Delftshout - Deldt
Wandeling met een zonnetje maar toch onder 10 graden door Delftshout met een lunch bij "Het Koningshuys" in Delft. Een clubsandwich, heerlijk. Veel wandelaars en fietsers gezien die net als wij gebruik maakten van een van de eerste mooie voorjaarsdagen.
Na thuiskomst even een dutje gedaan want onverwacht hakte deze…

Started in the beautiful Delftse Hout and then took a loop through the equally beautiful old center of Delft. Had a lovely lunch there in the sun on the Grote Markt.

Great weather, but the sun also ruined it.
The first part of the day was wonderful skiing. Now, we're enjoying the sunshine.

The day started with some sunshine and fantastic slopes, but by lunchtime, heavy snow showers had arrived. Piles of snow and poor visibility.
That's a nasty combination.
So we decided it was enough and headed back to our accommodation. Now the sun was back...enjoying the balcony with a glass of wine.

Last week, during our visit to Loevestein, I was inspired by Mare Liberum to go to the Maritime museum. Perhaps the most important work of Hugo de Groot and my hometown has played an important role in seafaring for centuries. You can't escape it as a child and I find ports fascinating anyway.
It had been
