A travelpost unrelated to work! I scheduled two separate weeks for my summervacation. For my week in July, I wanted to travel to Spijkenisse in the South-West of the Netherlands, to visit The Bridges of Europe, an applied arts project by Robin Stam (2011-2013) who actually built the non-existing bridges that are featured on the backsides of Euro banknotes. When I checked out if there was anything else worth visiting nearby, I found a watertowerhotel in Dordrecht (the oldest city in Holland, 1120) from where I could explore wetland area The Biesbosch, that was also on my wishlist!
I had a lovely couple of days; I read on the train, cycled around on my rented bike, went on ferries and boattrips, and was spoiled with views and bubblebaths. On my way back I stopped in 's Hertogenbosch, birthplace of 14th century artist Hieronymus Bosch (aka Jheronimus or Jeroen), so I got some culture in as well. Here is a massive picspam of all the things.

Day 1: Eurobridges in Spijkenisse & Cycling in Dordrecht )

Day 2: Whisperboat through the Biesbosch wetland )

Day 3: Bubbelbaths, more cycling & Walking through the wetlands )

Day 4: Art & Food in 's Hertogenbosch (Hieronymus Bosch & Bosche Bollen!) )

The End; for now it's back to work (But there will be another summervacationweek in September:-)

When I got to the busstop this evening, I found out someone had let the air out of my front tire. So instead of a 15-20 minute bikeride, I had to walk home. It took me almost an hour. *grumbles*

While I'm waiting for a couple of decisions by other people about my life, I haven't been in the mood to update. But I did make some significant photos of things that happened in the past week. Cookies, bicycles and busstops )

P.S. Once again words fail to express all the blah that's going on in my head. I hope to get a better grip on the future next week.

The news promised it wouldn't rain today,
so I wore my new blue shoes. We had a great time!
These shoes were made for walking... and cycling )
