Good thing birthdays come but once a year
This has to be my very favourite view while biking into the Centrum. It’s the Binnenhof. Roxi and I took a tour of the Kight’s Hall last summer. Roxi and I started the day with much needed haircuts from the Aveda Salon in the Haagsche Bluf. We liked the little massage we got before our haircuts [...]
In The Hague: “The Fred” Shopping Street
After a morning of “official paperwork”, Roxi and I rode our bikes out to the Frederik Hendriklaan shopping street. Affectionately known as “de Fred” by locals, it’s a interesting collection of boutiques, cafes, and food shops. For us, it was just another excuse to get on our bikes and explore more of The Hague–and to enjoy [...]
Now that’s what I call a sandcastle!
We spent the rainy weekend mostly indoors. It was probably for the best as we really needed to sit down and plan our upcoming holiday. We’re leaving on Friday! Nothing like waiting until the last minute ;-) Anyway, I’ve got a bit of a back log of photos from here and there, so to continue [...]
NL Photos from the Weekend
Friday evening, we rode to Clingendael Park. There is a Japanese garden there that I wanted to see, and that seemed a good enough excuse to get on our bikes. BTW, the light green in the photo is an algae-covered canal. Mr. DJ said he used to call that stuff “frog spit” when he was a [...]
A bit of “Texas” on this side of the pond
Whew! It’s been hot and humid here in Den Haag lately. For all y’all Texans, think late May. The temps have been in the high 80s, low 90s, but we don’t have AC of any sort. So add in full sun, high humidity and very little wind, and we’re talking some borderline miserable weather. Guys [...]
Dit is mijn fiets! (This is my bike)
Here’s my new bike! I took this photo on Sunday while we were on our way to ParkPop (billed as Europe’s largest free music festival) in Zuiderpark. As I was getting ready to snap this pic, Mr. DJ laughed and said you all would look at this photo and think I am an avid cyclist. [...]

Still in Love with the Bicycles in Holland
Here’s one in Amsterdam with a buggy in front. And one in action. The woman in the orange jacket has a youngster in her buggy. She might have had two. I can’t remember now. Anyway, this is in Delft. . And when it rains? Why, a nice little rain bonnet, of course. This is in [...]
