vive l'amour

Rotterdam - Wednesday 8th of January

Lovely lunch at Pierre in Rotterdam to celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary. A day earlier than the official wedding date, because we both had to work on the 9th.

On Thursday evening Henk had organized a surprise dinner with our family. When I came home from work on Thursday, all the lights were off when I entered the room and there was an enthusiastic SURPRISE!!!

The table was covered with L O V E napkins, flowers on the table and Liam had even baked a celebratory cake.

Celebrate life and celebrate love, as often as possible!

Sunday 9th of January 2022

We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary yesterday!

This year in our hometown with a delightful sleepover at Villa Augustus.
Room with a view and roomservice made our stay a super nice alternative to the more exclusive trip we had in mind for our anniversary.

We had brunch at home and after check-in in the blue room at Villa Augustus, made a city walk in our hometown in the afternoon.

And this morning Pippa & Liam dropped by to join us for breakfast as a surprise.

Celebrate love and enjoy the special moments in life!

the slaak

Saturday 9th of January - Rotterdam

On the occasion of our 29th wedding anniversary we stayed overnight in room 409 at The Slaak. A hotel which is housed in the former pressroom of newspaper ‘Het Vrije Volk’. A beautiful building with many authentic elements.

We keep celebrating love and traditions. L'amour toujours!

A sunny and crispy cold weekend with winter walks in Kralingen and Katendrecht.

Coffee to go at Vicini, take away ciabatta's for lunch from Da Giuseppe and dinner by hotel restaurant Didot34, which was delivered up to the hotel room door on a trolley.

Awakened by the sun shining through the large 'office windows' we had breakfast at 9 o'clock (also delivered in front of our door) overlooking the city. We've had a lovely stay.

PS: In November 2019 we had a coffee in the lobby and visited the Pantone Pantry by Tribute Portfolio to celebrate the opening of The Slaak Rotterdam. Different times, when you could drop by spontaneously to drink coffee. How we all miss that!
