Showing Ezzy and Rea the windmills of Kinderdijk and visiting Markthal for food and a beer.

in #life7 years ago

@Rea and @ezzy from London are in the Netehrlands for a visit!

After everyone got up this morning we went with my car to Kinderdijk.

Kinderdijk is a very famous place in the Netherlands because you can see many windmills there.

When we arrived we were greeted by double rainbow, all the way, across the sky ;)

It was going to be a good day.

It ended up a little bit colder than expected because of the wind. Rea and Bianca were freezing so we left the place a little earlier than planned.

To warm up we went to a place called Breeka. It's an old former truckers cafe but now modernised.

We ordered a late lunch. I had my favorite, just eggs with ham and cheese. Bianca and Rea had Flammkuchen which sort of is a German pizza and Ezzy had a Bun with warm meat.

After we were so full of food and still a bit tired from the late night grill session that we went back home to chill for a bit. The girls had another nap and I played some more Streetfighter 5 with Ezzy. At around four we made our way to Rotterdam to visit the Markthal.

These are Dutch waffles with caramel in between. I bought one for them to try.

It appears Ezzy loves raspberries. I did not know that so when we crossed the smooth bar he had to get one.

I think Bianca was already a bit sad that they were going to leave tomorrow.

We had a beer at my favorite store in the Markthal. It's called the World of Beers and has more than 500 beers to choose from. I went for this Bourbon infused one. It was awesome.

I will miss this guy (and Rea) when he has to go back tomorrow. We already had so much fun together in a short time. I will always be grateful to steemit for making it possible to meet him through this platform.

It is very nice to see how you take care of your friends.
Steemit is truly innovative.
Keep on steemit.

The double rainbow brings back the memories from "the good old days" of memes :))

I love that video :)

@exyle I had to Fully UP vote this post because this is what STEEMIT is all about to me. It is being able to form NEW FRIENDSHIPS and Support those that interact with us in our lives. What a great way to get to see different areas that are shared with us.........

Very true words @stokjockey. @exyle has changed my perspective of steemit. I never believed people could get this close through steemit,and this mindset made my mind closed towards relationship building. But because of @exyle, @ezzy and @rea, my mindset has been redefined. I now look towards having a true friendship like this through steemit. My steemit journey becomes changed as I now have a new look at the steemit experience, and one day I'll be sharing my own little steemfest just as @exyle has done. Thanks and God bless steemit.

@gabrielinnocent Thank You for your Beautiful Words and Yes I believe a lot of us will meet in person because of STEEMIT.......May you have a Blessed Week

I consider this an incredible place and am very grateful for it.

@exyle GMTA (Great Minds Think Alike)

wow excellent post my friend, i am so happy to see that double rainbow man it's been a long long time ago when i experience watching the double rainbow and after see it again today i am so happy and wow Kinderdijk is no doubt so cool and calm place and those wind mills really increasing it's beauty, i also like Markthal it's a nice place to have some food, it's great to see you peoples really enjoying the beauty of netherland and spending your time in really quality places, i hope ezzy and rea really enjoy their visit it would be a memorable visit for them, Stay blessed my friend and thanks for sharing

Oh yes @exyle, your communication continues in a positive mood. I am very happy for you and Bianka my friend, because you are hospitable hosts and you receive your guests very well, visit many interesting places in the city and spend an evening with a bottle of good wine! Well done and have a great rest!

Sweet double-rainbow to go with that doublebock

Why is there a giant neon tree behind the market? Surely it's too early for Christmas!?

Not in the Netherlands.

I guess it's a drawback to living in the 'states. It annoys people a bit when shops start putting up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving (the 3rd Thursday in November). 😉

wow seems like you had lots of fun its great to see some really awesome pics thanks for sharing your experience :D

Love your blogs! Caught myself a double rainbow aswell yesterday (check my post) all the way in the Achterhoek, what a beautifull day it was indeed ;)

When you said they all be go tomorrow I was like ow!, I going to really miss them, because you have really have good time with them and a great shoot too.

But I know one day you will still meet again, and have more fun.
I really enjoy you blog see them around and you how guys have been rocking things. Please send my regards to @ezzy and @rea, and I wish them safe trip back home.

@exyle,
A lot of foods :O You guys seems have a great fun out there! That's awesome b'dy gift for ezzy!

Cheers~

Its seems you enjoyed the whole day very well. that was must be a great day.
It is great to meet friends especially when through the platform like steemit. only the bad thing about this is "leaving."
But its ok.
Have a good day.

Not sure if its a photo effect but it looks extremely windy on the first pic, the bun and meat with cucumber looks really tasty the man as good choice and wow 500 beers to choose from sounds like fun @exyle

It was very windy indeed!

You are spreading love around platform.
You are an awesome Human being.👌🙏

Wow. You really had a great time with those nice friends. I must say Bianca is really beautiful, dont ask me how i know which of them she is. I know its definitely not the asian lady:), and she has been hugely supportive since the beginning of your recent fun activities. I know you would miss them greatly. We have that time when all good things must come to an end

Wow, are they leaving so soon. I was thinking they were going to stay longer. Am happy it ended well.500 different brands of beers, that Is huge. Is that the headquarters of beer production. Lol

Awwn, the birthday boy is leaving. You sure gave him a treat @exyle.bianca was a darling too. Please @exyle, it would be really nice of you put the link to the other post on @ezzy and @rea experience to and at your place, at the bottom of this post. Am resteeming this an I'll like other people to follow this wonderful story from the beginning. I believe this message should spread as far as it can get on steemit and outside steemit, so that people will know that it is possible to have true friendship from steemit. This will help a lot of people come out of their shells as they continue on their steemit journey. Thanks alot.Am glad it turned out superb.

Wonderful. You guys friendship make me wish I was in your shoes. You guys bonded very well and @ezzy and @rea were well taken care of. So they be heading back to UK then?

Today they will go sadly.

Thus is great. It all ended well. Am happy @ezzy and @rea had a lovely time.my best part of this vacation was the part you guys played street fighter. I love games a lot. Probably one day I'll get to have the experience @ezzy had with you. Lol. Wishing them a safe trip back to their homes.

Wow. It has finally come to an end. I must say you needed this whole fun. You really look hardworking, so i guess its time to get back to it. But i will personally miss the online delicacies you showed us here.

When I see you guys relationship, I really envy you guys. I never knew friendships could get this close especially from steemit.i really wish for this whole experience to get to more people's attention, so they can experience a different side to steemit, the true connection side.Am surely resteeming this. Am proud of you guys. Thanks

What a great weekend. Short but sweet. Starting the day off with a double rain bow is extra special. Steemit is really a place to meet like minded people and make lasting relationships.

Friendship forever no changing, so dont mind leave from you. You have really enjoyed and fun with @ezzy & @rea, use delicious &spicy dishes and VanderStreek beer. Wow...nice combination. Cool raspberries. Love this place in Nederland.

Looks like a fun time with a lot of good food! There is a World of Beer in the Town that I currently live in too! I have only been there once but I do need to go back and try it again, their selection is definitely impressive.

I love that place man!

And the birthday turned out to be a success. @ezzy and @rea you guys should really be thankful to @exyle and bianca(don't know her steemit account) for all their effort. They did a good job.

Nice place to roam around Rotterdam

This is cool @exyle.

Were your friends still able to blog about something since there were not in their comfort zone?

Is that an actual stroopwaffel being made? Oh man, I do love those things. Imagine getting one fresh! Although if that is one you don't have to imagine!!!
