We were very comfortable at our hotel and it was a joy to walk amongst the beautiful forest just over the road forming part of the Beerschoten estate. The paths were even and well marked out, and we very much enjoyed our walks there.
Stands of Oak, Beech, Conifer, and Birch were in sections, given the impression that this forest was a series of plantations.
During day 2 in Holland, we were driven to the outskirts of Utrecht, with just a short walk to the Old City Centre.
We enjoyed walking around taking in the sights and admiring the architecture, and window shopping in the very varied shops. We spent some time looking around Utrecht's Centraal Museum. In hindsight, it would have probably been best to just walk around and take in the sights of this attractive city, just because it was such a beautiful day. Of course it was a wonderful museum but I think a whole few days in Utrecht would have been necessary to do it justice. We went into the Home and Kitchen Shop Dille & Kamille and bought a few things there to bring back. For lunch we popped into the quirky Soep-er where we enjoyed a delicious and fiery bowl of soup with bread.
We hardly touched the town given the time we enjoyed at the Museum, and hopefully we shall be returning in the next few years.
From Dille & Kamille, I bought a little kitchen gadget to remove the last dregs from jars. It is called a Flessenlikker which could be translated as bottle licker! I also got a couple of jars of Pistachio Butter, and two little leaf mini dishes for condiments or butter at the table.
We had delicious meals at our hotel with many of the desserts looking like the patisserie shop offerings.
