room ten
This weekend we stayed at Villa Augustus, in a water tower room on the third floor with a beautiful view. Looking out from the hotelroom windows, we could see the major rivers of Dordrecht. The room was colorful, comfortable and homely and we would have loved to stay all week.
Delicious food, sleep late and eat breakfast in the hotel room, what bliss! We really enjoyed every single minute!

la cucina
An italian wood & word recipe for the kitchen.
The recipe is for another 'chef' and will leave our kitchen today.
However tonight we will have penne with salsa di pomodoro for dinner I figured.
I have to go shopping for cherry tomatoes and missing ingredients...
My favorite Italian cookbook is La nonna La cucina La vita by Larissa Bertonasco and not only for the good food!

aloha elvis
The beautiful girl with the braids is Elvis.
Elvis got a surprise stool for her eleventh birthday.
A while ago her fabulous mom Daan
ordered a wood & wool stool for her oldest daughter.
Today Daan & Elvis had lunch at Villa Augustus and Elvis came to pick up her surprise...
She was hoping for a stool, she told me during unpacking.
The smile on her face, made my day!

dordrechts museum
The museum garden itself is oh so beautiful! During late summer evenings the garden is an outdoor cinema.
After seeing the art of the famous old masters of Dordrecht, I was caught by these artworks.
A few of my personal highlights of the museum collection are;
Flower still life with dead hare - Joris Ponse (thát fly...)
Duck - Jan Roeland
Colorado Blvd - Hans Broek
I.O.U.A. poem - Ton Kraayeveld
The museum is within walking distance of Villa Augustus and one of the jewels of the old town.
