An afternoon in Amsterdam

on 17 July 201716 July 2017 By Manisha

It’s been a while since I’ve visited the city-centre of Amsterdam, so it was right about time to go! Together with my South-African friend Anél, we the main canal area and explored the ‘Negen Straatjes’, one of my favorite streets of the city. Plenty of unique shops & good food places are situated here.

For lunch, we decided to go to Ree7: a cute lunch place in the Hartenstraat. The buzzing ambiance was great and I ordered a sandwich with grilled veggies & homemade ice-tea.

Lots of love, Manisha

Oh Leiden, you keep surprising me. I’ve already studied for 6 years in this cozy city, and I’m still discovering new places now and then. One of the spots I started to admire more recently is het Plantsoen, a park situated in the South of the city. The waterside, fountains, bird-cages with some really cool animals and huge trees make this park the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle or simply just to enjoy nature. The surrounding neigborhoods are worth exploring as well. Expect lots of pretty home decorations, flowers, unique buildings & cats!

I’ve become a picnic-enthusiast after the ones I had in London, so I decided to bring my red blanket on this evening as well. We found the perfect spot underneath a tree and close to the water. The sun flickered through the waving leaves, small boats were passing by, people were sunbathing and swimming and we enjoyed the last sun-rays…

Lots of love,

Scheveningen

Now that the temperatures are finally rising, my friend and I planned a trip to Scheveningen. Situated close to the city centre of The Hague, this beach is the most buzzing and touristy beach of The Netherlands. Besides the long, sandy beach, there are plenty possibilities to fill in your day with. A stroll on the promenade definitely can’t be left out. At night, this area becomes very lively and there’s an endless option of bars, restaurants and beach clubs. Since recent years, the Pier has re-opened again and is now a nice hotspot combined with the ferris-wheel as a real eye-catcher. On this afternoon, we decided to take a long stroll on the beach and we passed by these rainbow-colored piles, don’t they look incredible?

When the sun slowly began to set and after strolling along the many beach clubs Scheveningen has to offer, we stumbled upon Beachclub Indigo. This hotspot has an amazing colorful interior and a beach vibes are great. We ordered fruity, refreshing lemonades, farmers fries & a grilled wasabi chicken salad. I was totally in my happy place: spending our day in Scheveningen was the perfect way to welcome the upcoming Summer days…

Lots of love,

Manisha
