In the fifth post of the Netherlands series, the Cranky Camper family visits Amsterdam, the bustling, historic capital of the Netherlands. Highlights include the Van Gogh Museum, shopping, and Amsterdam's many canals. Included in this post is a bonus summary of the Taylor Swift Eras Tour concert at Johann Cruijff Arena.
After a late night in Amsterdam, the Cranky Campers spend a low-key day in the historic canal city of Delft. While the summer weather thwarted some of our plans, we still had a wonderful time exploring, eating, and shopping in Delft.
On our first full day in The Hague, we visited Mauritshuis, which houses the Royal Cabinet of Paintings. On display are over 800 works from the Dutch Golden Age of the seventeenth century. We also find a relic that sparks many happy memories from primary school days: Miffy, who is also known as Nijntje.
The Cranky Campers explore the historic city of Barcelona in the Catalonia region of northern Spain- and learn how to make paella and sangria. Included at the end of this article is a recipe for vegetarian paella.
San Francisco, California is a vibrant city full of history, culture, and famed landmarks. Despite the current economic climate, San Francisco is still a popular destination. In this post, I share my latest adventure, exploring the city with colleagues while on a work-related trip.
