A couple of photos of our Efteling visit back in April. This time mainly shooting in portrait mode. Just for a change and to have a perspective on the world. 🙂 Something many mobile phone users do anyway. But it’s good to variate and see what would work best for a picture.

Giethoorn had always been on our list of places to visit. Famous for its canals and waterways. It’s a popular destination for tourists visiting The Netherlands. In the summertime it can get really busy and you’ll find many boats on the water. However when we visited the village in October you could see the high season was over. The place was pretty calm and there were no queues for renting a boat. It was a perfect sunny October day to be out on the water. Bringing out the pirate in all of us. 🙂

Summer has come to an end, and fall has started. The days are getting shorter, the temperature has dropped and it’s raining a lot again. Perfect weather to catch up on the backlog of photos that still need some editing. Starting with a day in Vlissingen (Flushing). When we still had a nice, long, warm summer ahead of us!

Amsterdam, always good to be back! It had been a while since our last visit. The last time we visited was even before the start of this whole pandemic. And because of that pandemic, tourism has been slow. Which was clearly visible in Amsterdam as well. There were hardly any tourists in the city. It looked like the city had slowed down, taking a little nap. Preparing itself for when things return to somewhat normal. And when they do, Amsterdam will be receiving its guest with open arms again. Leaving us with this memory of Amsterdam being a rather quiet place. Which will be, I’m pretty sure, hard to imagine when visiting the city again next time. 🙂

The joy of having a build in ND filter in the camera quickly disappeared when I realized I had forgotten to put back the memory card after copying the last photos onto the computer. The message “internal memory full” isn’t something you want to see after taking only a couple of pictures. It made the selection process a whole lot easier though!

Due to all the COVID-19 restrictions we didn’t feel like visiting the Efteling for a while. But things changed for the better, the situation improved and we still had some tickets left for a visit. So last month we decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised how well things were organized in order to keep distance and minimize the risks of getting infected. Despite some people having troubles following the guidelines, we had a wonderful day. A lot better than expected for sure. Almost like the old days again!

Pentecost gave us an extra day off. We booked a cabin for the long weekend in Epe. Which gave us the idea to visit the Apenheul again. We always love to go there and see what the monkeys are up to. Including our own! There are about 35 different species of primate about half of which roam freely among the visitors. When entering the park you also get a free map where you can scratch a box every time you see one of the monkeys. It’s a nice scavenger hunt and our kids loved it (and so did we).
