Dutch Experiences

I was lucky to have spent a couple of weeks in Holland this summer…and the experiences and adventures there are absolutely unforgettable! One of the places I visited is called Gouda, a town famous for its cheese.

The delicious Gouda Cheese :)

Another nice snack is the Stroopwafels (Dutch syrup waffles)…such a sweet treat for someone you love and yourself too!

After the first week traveling in Holland, I felt like I was coming down with a cold….To my surprise, Leah brought me BREAKFAST IN BED – ahhh, such an indulgent for the weak me as a guest in a foreign country…so moved! It was probably my FIRST b’fast in bed as far as I can remember…

And talking about bread, boy now I understand how much the Germans love good quality bread…since my friends are German who live in the Netherlands, they kinda struggled a bit to find the kind of bread that meets their standard…and this multi-grain bread is the BEST that I have ever had! Just had to take a picture of it before I threw away the empty bag :-) I love chewing the nuts in it…hmmm…..yummy! Can’t have enough of it!

Not too soft, not too crunchy, just perfect!
