They will only bloom for a short time, so right now is the perfect place to visit Landgoed Ockenburgh, read all about it in this blogpost.

VANLIFE PART 4: FIRST NIGHTS IN OUR VAN AT CAMPING DE LAKENS IN BLOEMENDAAL

At the end of my maternity leave we went on a two week trip through The Netherlands in our almost finished van. We started at one of the most popular campsites of The Netherlands: De Lakens in Bloemendaal. This campsite is beautifully located in the sand dunes within walking distance of the sea. This campsite has a lot of amenities and was perfect for our first nights. In this blogpost you will read about our experience at The Lakens and how we experienced traveling with a baby in a van.

CHERRY BLOSSOM STREET IN ALMERE, NETHERLANDS: THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHERRY BLOSSOMS

This is only a short blog post but I wouldn’t want to keep this location from you. A friend of mine recommended me that I should visit the Terracottastreet in Almere as this street is lined with lush cherry blossoms. The cherry trees line a bicycle path and a grasway, so can enjoy the street walking or cycling. The street consists of 850 blossoms, which is a spectacular sight! I am always hunting the best blossoms and I can honestly say these blossoms made the top of my list! This year the blossoms were pretty late and they peaked in the Easter weekend (April 5). My mother and I just visited them in time before the snow kicked in. Make sure you put a reminder in your agenda for next year to visit these blossoms!
