Hello dear Hivers, good morning, I hope you are having a great weekend... Among all the proposals that our friend offers us for this weekend, I will share with you: the week of my life that I will never forget.
One of the things my parents enjoyed doing the most when I was little was traveling, I remember my mother's favorite place was the mountains and my father's favorite place was the beach. My father to please my mother's tastes used to go to the mountains, I have plenty of pictures where we are with family and friends surrounded by mountains. My mother tells me that the way my father convinced her that the beach was the best place for vacations was by buying a house near the sea and that is how he got my mother to love the beach as much as he did. I make this preamble because growing up accustomed to travel, I got used to travel, but with the difference that I enjoyed ALL destinations, the important thing was the feeling of freedom, happiness and learning that I felt.
Throughout my life I have had the certainty that to materialize our desires we have to visualize and work mentally on them, there is a high percentage that our energy becomes the thread that weaves our dreams... I have always been fascinated by Holland, I saw pictures of its beautiful landscapes and flew with my imagination being happy in that place, for many years I wished it with my soul, I even tried to make astral trips that would take me to that wonderful country.
I promised myself that if I ever achieved my dream, the first place I would visit would be a theme park called Madurodam. I love to think that the Universe dwells in the walls of our heart and that it works as if it were an architect materializing our desires. The photos I share with you were my unforgettable vacation in Holland.
When I arrived in Holland the first tour I took was to visit the Madurodam park, in this place I felt like a child, it was as if I was going back to my childhood, where I spent long hours playing with castles and miniature cities. The size of the park is quite large, to take advantage of the tour I arrived very early, to enjoy it very calmly and quietly, I was so fascinated that I waited for the park to close.
Madurodam is a miniature park that is focused on the most relevant monuments, I was able to enjoy countless models, all of them are built taking care of the smallest detail, they are perfect replicas of the most important architectures in the country, I was very moved seeing the house of Anne Frank, too bad this was one of the last photos I wanted to take but I had problems with the camera.
In the park there are countless cafeterias where you could enjoy typical Dutch dishes, but I confess that even though my appetite is VERY big during the trips, because I want to try ALL the dishes, my joy was so great that it completely took away from me. the desire to eat, I bought an exquisite homemade sandwich with a dessert that can never be missing haha and I ate it on the bus back to the hotel.
To enjoy the miniature city more, I decided to sit on the ground to be able to calmly admire all the details of its structures that are recreated with: electric trains, ships that sail and emit steam, beautiful palaces, people touring the city, churches with beautiful facades, typical Dutch houses with windmills... For a moment I felt like a giant, I remembered the movie Gulliver's Travels. Haha
In the photo that I share below, where I rest inside the Dutch shoe, you can see the bridge that connects to the maritime part, since this park has two routes, the architectural one and the water route. While doing this tour I felt very grateful, I remembered all the trips I enjoyed in the company of my parents, although the ships were not similar, being surrounded by maritime architecture made me travel to my childhood, where my father taught my mother that sunset It is more beautiful in front of the sea, that the sound of the waves is the melody of love, that happiness is sitting on the sand waiting for the moon to rise and then I remembered that I was always a witness of that great love, because I was the fruit of them and if the three of us didn't travel they felt incomplete.
