Our real first holiday together: Luxembourg

-

📍Luxembourg 

One of the countries I've always wanted to visit is Luxembourg, and it finally happened last year! 
I've never been to Luxembourg before and it's a country that is also nearby to my country The Netherlands. It was so nearby that we decided to go there by car. It was roughly 3,5 hours of a ride and a pleasant ride too. Especially me being passenger-princess ahem. I do know how to drive aaaand I took my duty as a map reader very seriously. 

After we checked in at our hotel (next post: hotel room tour) we went exploring. 
And it was not hard to find beautiful sceneries and views in the capital city of Luxembourg. 

Chemin de la Corniche 
Also called “the most beautiful balcony in Europe”

And it's all free to enter too!

We can't ignore the many churches here in Luxembourg-city so we went to check out Notre Dame Cathedral. 

More good views. 

And this one here is also a very good handsome view. 

Admiring The Monument of Remembrance 'Gëlle Fra'. Which translates to the 'Golden Lady'. 

What shops, eateries, and all the buzz in the city center? 
A nice lane with fancy boutiques.

Street acts. 

Even a city beach! 

An interesting organic fruit shop. 

Dinner time 🍴
At restaurant Mamacita
It was getting dark and the shops were closing in the city center. We grabbed our Google Maps to see what kind of interesting food places that were also near public transport for convenience. That way we can easily go back to our hotel. 
We chose Mamacita. Because right outside there was a bus stop. 

Did you know that all public transport in the entire Luxembourg is free?! You can just hop on any bus, metro, tram, or train without being checked on. 

My boyfriend doesn't drink. But I do! I chose a nice glass of margarita to activate my appetite and to celebrate our first holiday together. And since we are going back by bus, I don't have to mind driving drunk either. 

Quesadillas and mixed fries of sweet potatoes and normal potatoes.

EN Or you can call them ‘scrubbies’ but I use them to create whip cream for my crochet cakes and cupcakes! They also make great home decorations by putting them into a maison jar! Did I just inspire you to make them as a gift for your friend, mum, girlfriend..? I’ll say: go for it! NL Of ze worden ook wel ‘scrubbies’ genoemd en ze zijn bedoeld om je lichaam mee te wassen en te scrubben. Maar mijn versie is klein en dienen ze als toefjes slagroom op mijn gehaakte taartjes en cupcakes! Ook doen ze aardig als huis decoraties bijvoorbeeld in een leuke glazen pot!

EN This week is officially my back-to-work week from my 6 wonderful weeks off Summer break. And like always it takes some time to adjust, to get my inner work engine warmed up again and like always take a deep breath. It’s kind of the same feeling going back to school but instead of school it’s work. Yay. Since it’s my first work week and it’s first of September why not kick it off with a DIY post. You know to keep our mind working! And this time I take you guys through another fruity crochet tutorial where this time it’s all about the bananas! Happy bunch of bananas because a banana provides good energy to our body, anti-stress and of course is a good snack for every monkeyheads like us!

Please try it out!    NL Deze week is mijn eerste werk week weer begonnen na e...

DIY: Crochet Miniature Cinnamon Rolls

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten. En natuurlijk ook heerlijk uitslapen hoort erbij maar de laatste tijd ben ik super productief geweest met haken. Mijn meest recente werkjes - het bladerdeeg/br...
