Back to Amsterdam. Whilst probably more famous for its rich cultural heritage, quirky Dutch design, and pretty canals, Amsterdam is also increasingly becoming known for its diverse and delectable food scene. Exploring this exciting culinary landscape is an essential part of experiencing the city to its fullest. The foodie in me was in epicurean heaven!
From kibbeling to poffertjes, croquettes to cheese, frites to the most divine Dutch bakes, stroopwafels and of course my all time favourite crab salad, oh my salivating soul. And a "King Alexander" is my new favourite cocktail. Sublime.

Welcome to Durban MSC Musica!

When in Amsterdam, a trip to the Bloemenmarkt, the city’s flower market, is a must. It is unique in Europe and is located along the Singel canal, between Muntplein and Koiningsplein. Flowers and plants are displayed on barges, that from the outside look like real shops. Overflowing with tulips, daffodils, bulbs of all kinds and a multitude of other fresh flowers, the Amsterdam flower market dates back to 1862, when merchants used barges to transport flowers from the suburbs to the city centre.
The anthophile in me was in flower heaven! Even in November.

Did you know, that spanning 18 kms, the new Fehmarn Belt fixed link between Germany and Denmark will be the world’s longest and deepest underwater tunnel, combining road and rail?
Once completed in 2029, the tunnel promises to reduce travel time, strengthen ties between Scandinavia and Central Europe, form a greener traffic lane, and boost train transport.

Yes, it's true, I did flit off overseas for a few days (and yes the laptop went along too), but I am back .........
Nothing flushed away, all is on track!
