There are a couple of small hotels opening here and a couple more in the planning although our neighbourhood group has objected to one of them and we'll probably win that one. The Troppenmuseum and Oosterpark are right down the street from me on one end the Dappermarkt at the other end of which we're in the middle of. No canal view but the Mauritskade is just at the end of the market for a canal walk with one of the only windmills in the city (Brouwerij Ij) at Zeeburgerstraat right there, too. There's nothing nicer than being dropped off in a canal boat down the street from your house after an evening at the pub.

I do know where you are, I think! Close to the zoo? If yes then we probably passed your street many a time.

Sad -
. Hopefully second time around she'll know better what to expect etc. I'll keep everything crossed.




He was worth it though
