Côte d’Azur: Nice
Rick Steves says, “Nice, with its spectacular Alps-to-Mediterranean surroundings, eternally entertaining seafront Promenade, and intriguing museums, is an enjoyable big-city highlight of the Riviera.” We agree! Nice made a fantastic base for our time in the French Riviera. You won’t need a car here; so much is within an easy walking distance. What you can’t [...]

Bonjour, Buon giorno, Goedemorgen! We are back :-)
Somewhere above greater Amsterdam. Well, hello there! We had an amazing break in Nice -> Monaco -> Antibes -> Cannes -> Cinque Terre -> Pisa -> Lucca -> Florence, but these were our favourite moments: The views on our hike in Cinque Terre and a lovely evening in Vernazza. I took quite a few photos {cough} [...]
We are somewhere nice…
In Nice, to be exact. Nice, France. I think I’m going to have to do more detailed posts after we return to the Netherlands. Our tiny travel laptop is a little pokey when it comes to processing photos, and the WiFi at our hotel is kind of spotty. Still, I thought it might be fun [...]
Netherlands: The Windmills at Zaanse Schans
Zaanse Schans calls itself one of Holland’s Top Tourist Destinations and I am certain that is true. Located just 20 minutes north of Amsterdam by train, this lovely outdoor museum is a wonderful place to sample a bit of this country’s unique history. Since it is less than an hour from our house in Den [...]
I’m going to buy crumpets.
That’s something like £42 in coins–not counting the small mound of 1p and 2ps stashed away somewhere. These were found in various pockets, between the sofa cushions, stashed in the car, at the bottom of purses… LOL! And no, I’m not taking all of it with me. We’re off to England for the weekend. Manchester on [...]
York, England: Getting there
Since we weren’t sure about the NL move this summer (meaning we might be leaving the UK soon), we decided we would take some of Roxi’s two-week Spring Break and see some things in England. After thumbing through a few guidebooks, and checking what was available accommodations-wise, we decided to head up to York in [...]
We’re back and welcome to the new blog!
Early last week, we took an evening walk around the beautiful medieval walled town of York. The daffodils were in full bloom. When we got back home last Wednesday, all of our dafs down here in the south of England were past their prime. Well, hello, you’ve found our new blog! I hope you don’t [...]

On Spring Break–back in a week!
I’m heading into London today to get some NL paperwork done. Then I’m staying in Town for the afternoon because Mr. DJ and I have a date! (Roxi has a sleepover). We’re going to dinner and a musical–it’s one I wanted to check out before taking Roxi to see it. I wonder if anyone can [...]
