Me went to Texel! Me went to Texel! Me went to TEXEL! Yes me did early June this year. Me just love to go to the largest Wadden island of the Netherlands. It no mind if it storming or raining… sunny and hot… the island is just beautiful. And this year was extra special because Berry brought her bike! Yay. So… me gonna share some vacation pictures today. Me also visited Ecomare, but me will tell you ALL about that this Monday. So… come back then for LOADS of pictures of cute seals.

Tea for three

Sometimes me sweet Berry meets up with her friend Tessa for tea. Just to talk and maybe do a little shopping later. They did so last year on September 18 2019. So… me KNOW Tessa will bring me besties Richie and Keith. So… when me did not see them, me listened at her bag to make sure they were there. And yes! THEY WERE. This time it not much of an adventure, but just a relaxed afternoon with tea… and hugs ofcourse. (pictures by Berry de Nijs)

Fairytale adventures with Aapie in Efteling

You all know me looooove Efteling right? It a fun magical themepark in the Netherlands. There are thrill rides (me no like those), fun rides (me looooove those) and a Fairytale Forest where the house of the witch from Hans and Gretl live. Me always want to take a bit out of that *drools* nommy *dreams away*… house… *sigh* So, me and me buddy Aapie went to the Efteling on June 27 2019 and boy did we have a blast! First we picked up Aapie and his sweet human up from the train station and then we had the bestest road trip to the Efteling where the fun started immediately. (pictures by Berry de Nijs)

Fun Cookie filled day in Utrecht

The first instameet of 2019 (yes, me still is telling you about the meet-ups me had and me finally arrived in 2019!) was cookie filled and delicious. Me went with Tessa and her lil elephants Richie and Keith to Utrecht on January 8th. We met up at the station and then went into the city for some deeeeeelicious treats! Lil Frights went with us too, because the humans would go visit an exhibition at the museum later that she wanted to see. It was a little less exciting as she thought, but the rest of the day was awesome! (pictures by Berry de Nijs)

Instameets by the sea

Ah the sea. Me love the sandy beaches, the soaring seagulls and the waves rolling on to the beach… it so soothing… Luckily in the Netherlands we have loads of beaches to choose from. There are many great places to go and it even better with friends! That why over the Summer me had not one but two instameets by the sea. Me gonna tell you all about them.

30 April Coffee with Krümel

Us Cookie Monsters come in all shapes and sizes. Some of us are a little naughty, others love to travel or are always looking for nommy cookies. Some of us are big, some small, some scruffy and some well-groomed. Some Cookie Monsters prefer to be all natural in the fur, others wear clothes and some are just friggin’ adorable wearing socks! Me – ofcourse – is talking about me sweet little cousin Krümel (from Krümel on Tour) from Germany. Me met him and his sweet parents for coffee in April.

Me love Keukenhof – me visits in 2018

O boy o boy o boy, me loved writing about me instameets at Keukenhof this year so much, me already made a follow up to tell you more about the other visits me had this year. Like me told you before, me got to visit Keukenhof 5 times this year. 2 times for instameets, 3 times for Berry her work (at one time we had a little instameet even). It was so much fun. And the best part? Me saw how magical nature is, because with every visit (the other 2 included) the park changes in colours, flower varieties and exhibits too.

Hi everybody. Thanks for being patient. Here is the last episode of this year’s Summer vacation report. Today me want to talk about all the fun music on the campgrounds. There was music every day. At the pool you could listen to Summer songs, the Kids Club danced to certain songs and the camping even had its own dance. The song we heard most was Magic in the Air by Magic System feat Chawki. The song was featured a lot during the Euro 2016 Football tournament but at the Holiday Park it also was everywhere. It makes me happy to listen to it. That is why me had to use it for me Vacation Slide Show! Have fun!
