    Tulip Route Holland: the Best Goeree-Overflakkee Tulip Fields

    May 4, 2022 / 0 Comments

    It’s tulip season in the Netherlands! We drove the tulip route Holland on Easter Sunday. Not as famous as the Flower Route, which is also in the province of Zuid-Holland. Due to it being less popular, there’s less people to share these famous tulip fields with. This tulip route is on Goeree-Overflakkee, an island in the South of the Netherlands. Tulip Route Holland We followed an old route from the ANWB, which they don’t update anymore, you can find it here in Dutch. There’s a map provided on that link. The following towns and cities are included: Stellendam Dirksland Sommelsdijk Middelharnis Stad aan ‘t Haringvliet Den Bommel Ooltgensplaat Oude-Tonge Nieuwe-Tonge…

    Groningen Road Trip: Eems and Oldambt Route

    April 28, 2022 / 0 Comments

    The Netherlands has lots to offer. Although flat, the landscape differs throughout the country. This Groningen road trip showcases the beauty of the most Northeastern part of the Netherlands, close to the border with Germany. Groningen is both a province and a city in the Netherlands. This road trip concentrates on part of the province, not on the city. So when you ask yourself “Is Groningen worth visiting?”, a simple Yes is the answer, just look at this Eems and Oldambt road trip. Groningen Road Trip We followed the route set out by the ANWB, which you can find here in Dutch. There’s a map provided on the site. The…

    A Visit to the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision

    April 1, 2022 / 0 Comments

    We love visiting museums, our son loves it especially when they’re interactive and have screens. The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision fits right in. A museum fun for both parents and kids. We visited in October 2020, just before the second lockdown in The Netherlands. For Paul and me it was a trip down memory lane with the old tv shows and commercials they showed. For Yuri it was fun due to all the technology, things from his childhood such as YouTube and the interactiveness. We visited just before the museum closed its doors for 2 years to rebuild.

    Fletcher Hotel Naaldwijk Review of a Great Stay

    March 16, 2022 / 0 Comments

    We stayed at Fletcher Hotel-Restaurant Carlton in January 2021. Since at that moment there was still a lockdown in place in the Netherlands, we had Fletcher hotel Naaldwijk almost to ourselves. We stayed two nights from the 29th to the 31st and loved our stay, despite limited facilities and everything being closed. This is not a sponsored post, we stayed here at our own expense. So all opinions are, as always, our own. Location of Fletcher Hotel Naaldwijk The hotel is in an area called Westland. In the Midwest of the province of Zuid-Holland is the town of Naaldwijk. A town which is close to the beach. Amsterdam Schiphol Airport…

    The Flower Route: a Road Trip with Tulip fields.

    April 15, 2021 / 26 Comments

    The Netherlands is known around the world for its beautiful tulips. In Spring, fields of flowers align the fields in the west of the Netherlands. There are several tulip routes throughout the country. Last Sunday we drove the flower route by car, in the province of Zuid-Holland. A beautiful route with daffodils, tulips and hyacinths. However, the route offers more than just flower fields. There are museums and beach towns along the route. The Flower Route We followed the route set out by the ANWB, which you can find here in Dutch. There’s a map provided on the site. The following towns are included: Oegstgeest Rijnsburg Katwijk aan Zee Noordwijk…
