In 2008 we were together for the first time in Amsterdam and in Wjik aan Zee. At that time we fell in love with the city and the country. Since then, we travel every year, the Hortus Botanicus is Elena`s favorite place. She loves the old greenhouses, the butterflies, the plants and the orangery with the best cakes. We also love to drink fresh mint tea in the very nice Dutch restaurants. By the way, we have never been to a coffee shop, we both have never tipped, so that’s no reason to go to Amsterdam :-).
We like the magnificent houses made of bricks, such are not there with us. The Dutch bikes are also a highlight, very comfortable to drive. In the meantime, I was still in Friesland, in Maastricht, Dordrecht, Leiden, Utrecht. I love Holland, the people, the style, the architecture, the landscape, just everything!
