Amsterdam

This week-end (in fact three days) we came back from a trip from Amsterdam.

We took the Thalys (4 hours) and stayed in a bed and breakfarst at 'Room and Co' found via Booking.
The location is at the town limit (see above) but you could access any points of the city by trameway or bus. For the courageous, cross the town by walking doesn't take more 45 minutes.

During these days we walk across the different districts: the flowers district, the red light district, the canals ...
And visit some monuments like the Van Gogh Museum.

Of course Amsterdam is knew for its coffee shops but as we doesn't smoke the smell on the sidewalk was enough ;-)

About the weather, just one clue, we never saw as much rainbows. But like on the coasts the wind moves the rainny clouds out in 15-20 minutes.
Some photographies could be seen in our album.

Alone in the dark

Yesterday evening we try a new experience: eat in a totaly dark environment at Dans le noir


First you must remove all sources of light wach, cellular, camera etc...
Next you choose your menu and drinks, you could (must) take a surprise menu and for the drink a tasting. Then a blind man, your waiter, drive you inside the room and give you some advice (How to pour a glass of water, ...)

Now my tips ... eat with your fingers ;-)

After the dinner you could take a look on the menu to compare your feelings and experience.


Just a drawback it's too expensive; around 45€ by personn for a not to bad lunch but not a great cook.


So if you are around Paris, London or Moscou take a look at Dans le noir

And of course yesterday evening other frenchies eat the dark.
The second half-time of France-All Blacks from the Paris Hotel de ville ... Yeaaah on the road again

Toscane

Come back from the Toscane (Italia) since some weeks I post some photographies in our album (Toscane section) (direct link here ... but sometimes it doesn't work)

After 11 hours travel in a nightly train (an horror) we arrived in Florence and began a one week walk trip.
Lightly loaded with our day stuff and the pic-nique we walk trough the Toscane campaign and make some break in the most remarkable sites: Florence of course, but also San Gimignano and Sienne
