My weekend in the homeland

Before taking off on holiday to the USA for two weeks I first made a little stop in the homeland. Here some instagram pics from my weekend :)
In flight refreshments from KLM 'a cup of blond' hehe
Me in transit...
Overlooking the canals in The Hague from my brothers house
The birthday feast at my brothers party. Mainly Ottolenghi recipes, yum!
Vlokken aka chocolate flakes!
Typical Dutch sandwich topping for breakfast, yum yum :)
The country of bikes...
Amsterdam for the day on Saturday!
Banana bread treat
Poached eggs, avocado and smoked salmon. Best way to start the day! Really good brunch place in Amsterdam; G & T's (link)
My friend outside his awesome apartment right along the canals!
Great company, food, drinks and people watching in de Pijp
What the 'bleep' ;)
I Am-sterdam :)
Pretty canals in Amsterdam
Lining the stomach with tapas at Boca's in de Jordaan before a fun night out!Movie night with the parents. We saw the Danish film 'a Royal Affair'
I thought it was a beautiful story with interesting history.
Delicious Vietnamese dinner after the movies.

Next stop?
Early tomorrow morning I am getting on a plane to Los Angeles for a week in Calfornia. I can't wait to soak up the sunshine, cruise around LA, go rollerblading at Venice beach, try paddle-boarding, shop, try to spot celebrities in Hollywood and watch one of my best friends tie the knot in San Diego! I will try my best to post the occasional update on here now that I have my handy iPad with me! See you later everyone......USA here I come!!
