Last Saturday we decided to take a trip to the Veluwe. We spend a couple of hours exploring the forest. Admiring the different types of mushrooms, collecting leaves, climbing logs and trying to spot some wildlife. All of that while eating a croissant. It couldn’t have been any better!

Life has somewhat changed over the past few weeks. The Coronavirus took over the world and most people try to follow the rules as best as they can to help stop spreading the virus. Schools are closed and our kitchen table has become our new office. No more judo and no more visits from family members for now.

February is a pretty good month for visiting the Efteling. Which is becoming a tradition for Iván’s birthday. There are hardly any visitors but there’s still plenty to do.

It’s April and I am writing a post about Christmas! Christmas is long gone. Temperatures went up, the Coronavirus keeps us busy and spring finally arrived.

Day 3 in Madrid! The second and last day of Adri’s training. Giving me a couple more hours to explore the city on my own. Not much on my list for today other than the Torres de Colón, the National Library of Spain, the Prado Museum and the Royal Botanical Garden. And of course… more tapas!

The idea of spending the day alone was a little weird. Normally we enjoy these city trips together. But here I was nevertheless. At least we had a nice breakfast together and I got to walk Adri to her training location. After saying goodbye and knowing we would see each other soon again, I set out to find the statue of the Bear and the Strawberry Tree.
