pippa's birthday in the zoo

Tuesday 20th of August

Early in the morning I picked up my birthday girl Pippa & Liam to go to the zoo in Rotterdam.

We had a wonderful time together, Liam already loved the playground and made us lots of coffees and lattes in his wooden cafe.

We saw elephants, tigers and lots of colorful fish, watched the polar bears wrestling, heard the lions roar and the three of us agreed the giraffe is our favorite animal.

London - Thursday 1st of August - 24777 steps

It's my birthday with bright birthday bunting arranged by Mika, as a surprise and unwrapping presents at the family breakfast.

We took the overground to Camden Road and walked to Primrose Hill, one of my many favourite places in London. Coffee & lemon cake with poppy seeds at table 1 at Ripe Kitchen on Regent's Park Road to celebrate my birthday.

We walked through Regent's park to Marylebone and had an Italian lunch with prosecco on the terrace at Ristorante Carlotta.

In Bond Steet we took the Central Line to Bethnal Green, to stroll around in Brick Lane, Shoreditch and Colombia Road.

We shared some Portuguese dishes for dinner in the garden at A Portuguese Love Affair and then went 'home' again to Leyton with the Central Line.

What a wonderful birthday full of inspiration and fun.
