Eurostar ……. the modern high-speed train we took from London to Amsterdam was a luxurious way to travel. Check-in was not a complicated process like that of an airport, and we were able to traverse comfortably while exploring the picturesque countryside from the UK to the Netherlands. Upon arriving we headed to the Rijksmuseum to see the Frans Hals exhibit, which is on display until June 09, 2024. Another check point was to Puccini Bomboni for the best chocolates in the Netherlands, whenever we’re in Amsterdam we must purchase a few boxes to bring home. Their sweets have a unique shape and the dedication to making these chocolates are part of the presentation and taste.
Dinner was at Gebr. Hartering on Peperstraat. Their creatively plated dishes, multicourse menus and wine pairing are all part of the cozy setting that overlooks the canal. Dinner was enjoyably unique, and I can’t wait to return.
Travel stylishly,
Kathleen.

Reminiscing, Photos captured the atmosphere. The sophistication. The generous spirit of this city. I lived in Amserstam for a short while. A Canadian I was greeted with open arms and thank you. The Dutch will never forget who liberated them. Cheers, Virginia
