The Sunday Market at Westergasfabriek is always a fun way to spend time each month.
But its even more so at this time of year when you get to shop for Giftmas! You should always begin by having a warming cup of gluhwein while having a small boogie to the resident DJ too. Would you like to know more?
It was a day of train stations. But before we could go touring, we had to change residence. We gave up our nice, neat, close (in need of a good scrub and some serious maintenance) apartment and hoofed it on over to stay with a friend for the last couple of days of our trip. After dumping all our bags (just one, we’d packed quite well really!) we headed back to the station. Click here for the sound track that goes with the first photo!
*melts into the sax* Trust me to completely forget that Baker Street was Sherlock Holmes stomping ground until I got to the station and his silhouette was plastered all over the walls! I also don’t watch much current television programming, can you tell? Would you like to know more?
So much to do, so little time! It was up early in order to fit everything in today! It was one of the few days where we did have a timing deadline, as I had organised to meet up with friends in the evening.
In this vein we did something that I hadn’t actually planned for and wasn’t on the itinerary. We headed to Loop, the yarn shop.
I was so good! I was so strong! I made it out of there with no purchases! Hooray me! (I think Himself went into shock!) Would you like to know more?
So we were in Leiden, the photographic walking tour ended up being a bit of a bust, but it was a Saturday, and therefore it was Market Day.
Netherlands markets are just amazing and wonderful! There is so much to see, hear, smell, and touch, they inspire all your senses. Would you like to know more?
You’d never guess there was a fertility festival coming up!
All those hand-made chocolates. Would you like to know more?
