I miss sitting out on the terras in the evening, when dusk doesn’t arrive until 10 p.m. Monday’s burst of sunshine quickly disappeared and doesn’t look to be returning soon.
This is the patio area of a restaurant/hotel on Korte Nieuwstraat, De Rechtbank/Court Hotel. It looks gorgeous, inside and out. Maybe I’ll skip my usual sushi [...]

A picturesque canal and quiet street toward the northwest part of the city center. It is evocatively called Zwartewater (Blackwater), although the area is nowhere near as ominous as the name. It’s one of those charming little streets/canals that make you stop and admire the view. The inclusion of the bicycle in the little rest [...]
