Check out these pretty flowers along the Vondelstraat, a street not far from the city centre:
This street is on the way to Kelly’s Expat Shopping, a decent store for expat foods (British and American, with a bit of Mexican as well).
And the photo above was taken just outside of the Paleistuin (Palace gardens). The gardens are freely accessible during the day, and I’ve taken many pictures of it from the inside. This time I figured I would take a picture of the path that runs just outside of it. It’s actually a nice place to walk, except for the bits where the stones are coming up due to the trees pushing them up. You can’t really see that in the photo above, though.
First official summer day arrives in the Netherlands earlier than usual, topping 25°C from nltimes.nl. Of course, the official temperature comes from a town called “De Bilt” closer to the middle of the Netherlands. We got to about 22C here in The Hague, around 72F.
And of course if you have sudden warm temperatures, you also need to have this article: Open water still too cold for swimming despite warm weather, rescue organization says, also from nltimes.nl. You know a lot of people will try!
