Back in August we spent a wonderful long weekend in the Netherlands. Neither of us had been before and we took the opportunity to go with our friends Bastiaan and Pip who've spent a lot of time there and who could make sure we only saw the best bits!
We caught the Eurostar over, which meant we could explore Amsterdam for a few days, then on the way back down to catch our connection in Brussels to London, we could also visit Delft and Leiden.
The weather was absolutely superb and it was so lovely to just cruise around looking at all the canals and doing the cliched 'soaking up the atmosphere'! I particularly enjoyed kayaking around the canals in Leiden and spending an afternoon in Vondelpark people watching. It was an incredibly relaxing weekend - and a perfect example of the beauty of living in London and having Europe right on your doorstep!
