Day trip to Giethoorn - Netherlands

Lee, my son, and I started out early to catch the train to Amsterdam to meet up with the group going on the tour to Giethoorn.

Giethoorn

This was really a lovely and worthwhile trip. It was a birthday gift from Lee's dad, as the family have decided we want to have memories as gifts

So happy to be able to blog about this wonderful day of memories on the 1st March.

We collected our tickets and had some time to spare so we had a delicious cappuccino at a nearby coffee shop in the station.

Short stop on route to take photographs- lovely coffee shop

Lovely vibe here

Once we arrived in Giethoorn we boarded a boat - for a one hour trip to see the houses along the bank.

This is the boat we went on

Tulips in the foreground and all the ducks in the background

There were quite a few places where we saw tulips growing on the banks of the river. I can only imagine how beautiful this will be in the spring and the summer.

Apparently the little house you see there is like a little kitchen where they bake bread.

Signboard on the river and even street signs - naming the different sections of the river

After the boat ride we had lunch in the recommended restaurant and it was really good. Will post about that in my next blog.

Hope you enjoy my travels with me. The weekend has been more than amazing
