    A Luxurious stay at the Van der Valk hotel Ridderkerk

    November 25, 2020 / 12 Comments

    Macarons for breakfast, a comfy bed and friendly staff is what the Van der Valk hotel Ridderkerk offers. But these aren’t the only reasons to stay at the hotel, it’s also just 17 minutes away from the world famous windmills from Kinderdijk. We enjoyed a stay at this hotel on a road trip in 2018 and loved it. Note that not everything mentioned is now offered, due to the pandemic. This is not a sponsored post, we stayed here on our own expense. So all opinions are, as always, our own.

    Best cities for shopping in The Netherlands

    April 23, 2020 / 4 Comments

    3 to 4 times a year I go shopping with a friend, we pick a city somewhere in The Netherlands and arrive there by train. We started this in 2013. My son was saying to me “When are you not here?”, not because he had enough of me, but because he thought that on a day with just his dad he could have screen time all day long (luckily that didn’t come true). My friend and I have one city we go to each year, Maastricht, and then a number of cities that rotate. Next to these I have added some cities where I used to go shopping with friends…
