Autumn vacation to Belgium and the Netherlands

These past few weeks have been passing by so quickly, I have not even considered blogging about my recent trip to Brugge (Belgium), and the Netherlands. As we are lucky enough to have autumn vacation at the University of Copenhagen, I had the chance to take a week long trip south to these two beautiful countries. So here is a little review, three weeks after.
The cozy square of the town Brugge in Belgium. 


On the square of Brugge


In Brugge, we visited "Choco Story" - a museum of
the history of chocolate. This is a copy of the cups that
Marie-Antoinette used to drink her hot chocolate. 


Brugge is a beautiful city, but also has a lot of tourists. Like us.


A beautiful cathedral of Brugge. 

During a ride in Friesland, I got this beautiful shot of the
nice weather and autumn colors. 


Anne Marie joined me in Amsterdam, and here we had lunch
in Vlaamsch Broodhuys, one of my favourites. 


Here we are visiting the modern museum "Stedelijk Museum".
These are "the Best Dutch Book Designs of 2017" 


Stedelijk Museum got interactive


Anne Marie and me in front of Rijksmuseum, at museum square.


Enjoying the beautiful Dutch canals. 


MoCo Museum (Modern Contemporary), had an exhibition
with Banksy and DalĂ­. 


On friday, we went to a concert with the Norwegian band
Rohey. It was a very good concert experience! 


My sweet travel companion. 


Visiting the Noordermarkt on Saturday - with all the cheese
you can imagine. 
I was thrilled when discovering this cute little cafe -
Le Petit Deli. Such a nice staff and lovely food.

Thanks for the beautiful autumn vacation. As I started thinking about it, I found out I have been to the Netherlands every autumn for as many years as I can imagine.
