On our way to Brielle yesterday we passed the Rotterdam Harbor – quite a different Dutch Landscape. Made some pics as a starter to figure out how to put this in a box – will be quite a challenge, I think. It is nice to be challenged.

Seville isn’t the only city in the world that has whimsical structures in pretty gardens. I had the opportunity yesterday to re-visit Villa Augustus in Dordrecht, a hotel-restaurant-garden shop located in and around the former water tower in Dordrecht. The garden has a great mix of herbs, fruit, vegetables, also an Alhambra-style rill and a stone wall […]

And after nature, culture! Great day trip to Cordoba – saw the Mezquita, of course, and went to the best museum ever: the Palacio de Viana, also known as the Courtyard Museum.

Went to Seville’s most famous market yesterday – the Mercado de Triana. It has the dubious distinction of being built over of the remains of the headquarters of the Spanish Inquisition – I’m not sure if this is a cynical joke or final justice. Anyways, at the market the national preoccupation with pork, and especially […]

I’m in Seville at the moment, taking the not-so-little-girl for a week of R&R. I visited Seville before – we had just one day then to sample the city, and I promised myself I’d come back. So here we are … Seville has lost none of its magic. First day out we went to the […]
