Recently I went to Kelly’s Expat Shopping. Mainly for some more Cheerios and sour cream pretzels. Yum yum yum.
On the way back, I spotted a cat playing in the dirt on the same street, Zoutmanstraat. Unfortunately it was a bit too distracted to look my way, as it was acting like a dog and rolling around in the dirt. It looked like it was having the time of its life! (Maybe it just had an itch it wanted to scratch, who knows.)
In other news… it is quite touristy, but in September you can ride a swan boat in the Hofvijver (indebuurt.nl, in Dutch).
Or, on Tuesday, September 16 you can visit The Hague to watch the ceremonies around Prinsjesdag. Here’s a description from DenHaag.com: “Prince’s Day (Prinsjesdag) is the traditional start of the parliamentary year for the Senate and House of Representatives in The Hague. On the third Tuesday in September, King Willem-Alexander will deliver the Speech from the Throne in which the government announces its most important plans for the coming year. Prior to the reading of the Speech from the Throne, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima will travel in the Glass Carriage, followed by other important members, with a driving tour from Noordeinde Palace via Lange Voorhout to the place where this year’s speech from the throne will take place.”
Of course, most of the plans are always leaked a few days in advance, so…
