Retro, kitschy Amsterdam

I ♥ Amsterdam

Jeg er VILD med Amsterdam!!! Min absolutte yndlingshovedstad i Europa!!!

Det er den fedeste kombination af genbrug, design, kitsch, trash, flower power og boheme. Alt sammen pakket ind i gennemtænkte butikskoncepter, hvor intet er overladt til tilfældighederne… – Krydret med skøn streetart og et åbentsindet folkefærd, der er perfekte til engelsk!

Har været i Amsterdam for snart 10 år siden med en veninde. Dér havde vi en uges tid til at se det hele – denne gang havde min kæreste og jeg kun 48 timer… Og de blev udnyttet maks!!!

Shopping, slendren og god mad

Amsterdam er lidt som København – alt kan nås i gåafstand, og du kommer hurtigt til at gå 10 km om dagen på kryds og tværs af byen, på tværs og langs af alle kanalerne.

Vi sprang alle muséerne over – jeg har set en del af dem, og resten har vi til gode til næste gang.

Så vi fik shoppet igennem – især i ‘De 9 gader’ og i Jordaan, som er byens boheme kvarter.

Vi fik vandret langs kanalerne, nydt synet af husbådene og de smukke, smalle huse. Drukket kaffe to go i solen og spist lækker mad godt hjulpet af danske rejseguider og anbefalinger på hjemmesider…

Mine anbefalinger til frokost, kaffe og middag

  • Til frokost kan jeg anbefale ‘Buffet van Odette’ på Prinsengracht 598 – sund ærlig mad, lavet fra bunden…
  • Til aften en god bøf på en nedlagt tobaksfabrik ‘Brasserie Harkema’ på Nes 67
  • Den bedste kaffe har vi fået i den sejeste NGO og socialøkonomiske sko- og brilleforretning ‘Toms’, Runstraat 13 – og den anden bedste på ‘Mazzo’, på Rozengracht 114, som havde den lækreste indretning!

Overvejer du selv, om turen skal gå til Amsterdam, er det bare med at komme af sted :)

Blogindlæg følger om mine favorit shoppingsteder i Amsterdam…

Retro, kitschy Amsterdam

I ♥ Amsterdam! My absolute favorite capital in Europe!

It is the coolest combination of recycling, design, kitsch, trash, flower power and bohemian. All this wrapped in amazing shopping concepts where every detail is totally planned… All spiced up with beautiful street art and an open mind Dutch people, who loves talking English!

I have been in Amsterdam almost 10 years ago with a friend. There we had a week to see it all – this time my boyfriend and I only had 48 hours… And they were exploited to the max!

Shopping, walking and good food

Amsterdam is a bit like Copenhagen – everything is within walking distance, and you are easily walking 10 km a day criss-crossing the city, across and along all the beautiful canals.

We chose not to see any museums – I’ve seen some of them earlier, and the rest will wait for us some other time.

So we went shopping!! Especially in ‘The 9 streets’ and in Jordaan, the city’s bohemian quarter.

And we loved walking along the canals, enjoying the sight of the houseboats and the beautiful, narrow houses. We had coffee to go in the sun and had delicious food helped by Danish travel guides and recommendations on websites…

My recommendations for lunch, coffee and dinner

  • For lunch, I recommend ‘Buffet van Odette’ at Prinsengracht 598
  • For dinner a good steak at a former tobacco factory ‘Brasserie Harkema’ at Nes 67
  • The best coffee we’ve got in the coolest NGO and social economy footwear and eyewear business ‘Toms’, Runstraat 13 – and the second best in ‘Mazzo’ at Rozengracht 114, which had the most delicious decor!

Are you considering to go to a trip to Amsterdam – I can only say: DO IT!

Blog post will follow with all my favorite shopping places in Amsterdam…

Lots of love and happiness, Susanne ♥

Prinsessedrømme i det franske¦ Princess dreams in France

20140708-230736-83256866.jpg

De sidste par dage har vi drønet rundt i det franske, fra den ene borgby til den anden…

Vi kørte ind fra vestkysten via Nantes og har taget de små landeveje langs floden la Loire i området “Val de Loire”…

Og pludselig viste der sig den ene smukke by efter den anden med spor af gamle borge, slotte og kirker…

Jeg elsker at mærke historiens vingesus og blive opslugt af det ene vidunderlige syn efter det andet – og er vildt betaget af de parkanlæg, der omkranser borgene, med smukke rosenbuske der snor sig her og der…

Har virkelig befundet mig i eventyrland de seneste dage med riddere, prinser, prinsesser, munke og nonner overalt.

Åh altså… Fantasien længe leve!

Billederne her er fra borgbyen Montreuil-Bellay.

Princess dreams in France

The last few days we have been driven around in the French country side, from one fortress village to another…

We drove in from the west coast via Nantes and took the small roads along the river Loire in the “Val de Loire”.

And suddenly there appeared one beautiful village after another with traces of ancient fortresses, castles, palaces and churches…

I really love to feel the history and be caught by one wonderful sight after another with traces of ancient time…

I am very captivated by the beautiful parks that surround the fortresses, with beautiful rose bushes that meanders here and there…

Have found myself in wonderland the recent days with knights, princes, princesses, monks and nuns all over.

Well, long live the imagination!

The pictures from this blog post is from Montreuil-Bellay.

Lots of love and happiness, Susanne ♥
