THINGS TO DO SURROUNDING BLOEMENDAAL

As you may have already read we recently stayed at campsite De Lakens in the Bloemendaal area. We loved our stay in Bloemendaal as you can do many activities in this region, we even were short of time. In this blogpost you will read all my recommendations for the Bloemendaal area. Make sure to bring a car, because there are endless possibilities if you have your own transport!

VISITING A FLOWER PICKING GARDEN

I recently jumped on the trend of picking my own flowers in a picking garden (pluktuin). With COVID limiting the amount of activities, visiting a picking garden has become all the rage. Because of the incredible popularity of the picking gardens the tulip season only lasted a short amount of time and most tulip picking gardens were empty by the beginning of may. Luckily, we still have lots of other flowers that we can pick in the upcoming months. In this blog post I have many recommendations for picking gardens for you!

TWO HIDDEN GEMS OF THE NETHERLANDS: BROEK IN WATERLAND & DE RIJP

During our Dutch road trip we visited the little villages Broek in Waterland & De Rijp. Both of these villages are so incredibly idyllic that you have to pay a visit. It will feel like you have been transported back in time. We originally also wanted to visit the island of Marken, which is also located in this area, but because of COVID the connecting road was closed. But we will definitely include it on our list for next time. If you feel inspired by my pictures, you can visit many more of these sort of villages/cities north of Amsterdam, such as Monnickendam, Volendam, Enkhuizen, Hoorn and West-Graftdijk. I was very happy with my choice for the lovely Broek and De Rijp. If you love historic villages, these are the place to be!
