Visiting Heusden (in Netherlands)

After leaving my sister and niece at the Schiphol airport (still crazy busy, but we left them with lots of time), Roger and I went to visit the town of Heusden.

 

In the entrance of the town...

 

...a cute reception committee :-D

 

 

Looks like a postcard!

 

Beautiful...

 

 

...windmills.

 

And flowers in the windows.

We stopped at a bakery to have a coffee. Cool way to store a baguette :-D

Restaurant Session (in Amsterdam, Netherlands): Lion Noir

For dinner, we went to the restaurant Lion Noir.

 

They have a lovely terrace...

 

...with a beautiful garden, so we decided...

 

...to sit outside. But after some time, it got quite windy and cold, so we move...

 

...inside.

 

Cool decoration.

 

As aperitif, a Pornstar Martini cocktail: Bols vodka, vanilla, passion fruit. Very refreshing!

I didn't remember to write down what we ate, but it was...

 

...very delicious!!

Sweet time!

 

We liked it very much - Joaninha Bacana approval stamp :-)

 

Going back to the hotel, a cool reminder that not only Covid is contagious :-D
