Yesterday Marion and I planned to visit Amsterdam. Not with a specific goal, but just to enjoy the city again. When Sanne heard this, she told that she would love to come along with us. And as Sanne is good company, why not. We agreed that we would meet at the “Amsterdam Centraal” (the main…

Bicycle ride (… and testing my new GPS tracker for my camera)
The weather was today very nice, so I decided to make a nice trip on my bicycle This way I could test right away the new GPS-tracker (for my camera) that I got from Marion. It was a nice long trip that made me use 3 ferries. The first one to cross the “Noord-Holland kanaal”…
Hortus Botanicus
Yesterday afternoon Marion and I have been to the Hortus Botanicus in the city of Amsterdam. It is for me the second time I have been there. I have been there about two years ago (while I was still renting a room in Amsterdam) during the winter. For Marion also has been there before, but…
“Wijk aan Zee” and a little bit about photography….
Yesterday Marion and I have visited the town of Wijk aan Zee, which is not really far away from Heemskerk. But it is a very nice area to wander around. And of course I took my new camera along. Lets talk first a bit about photography. Not interested or have no clue what it is…
Queensday in Alkmaar
Today Marion and I went for the celebration of the Queen’s birthday to the city of Alkmaar. I never have been before to Alkmaar (apart from a changing trains at the rail road station). Lots of people told me that Alkmaar was a very nice city and now I know they were right. We did…
The Avengers

Battleship
I said it before and I will say it again: It is great to have a good cinema this close by. When there is new movie that I want to see, it is no problem at all. 10 to 15 minutes on my bicycle. And if the weather is really bad, the railroad station is…
Vonder & Bloom
Yesterday was mostly a lousy day. It already started early in the morning when I wanted to go to my work and the train I had to take was standing with technical problems at the railroad station of Heemskerk and it was not planning to move at all. But by travelling by other railroad stations…
Uriah Heep
Yesterday I have been to another awesome concert… Uriah Heep. And this all unexpected. So what happened? Simon, a colleague of mine, won two free tickets for this concert. But sadly he could not make it to the concert. So he gave the tickets to another colleague who is really interested in good music. Hans,…
Easter breakfast
Yesterday we Sanne (who stays with us for Easter), Marion and I did some shopping for Easter breakfast. The idea was that we would prepare it together and enjoy it together. But things went a little different. It seemed that Sanne was awake rather early this morning. When time arrived to start to prepare the…
