This past weekend my dear friend Brenda from the States came to visit (while Alex was in Newport, Rhode Island on a golf weekend with the lads). Brenda had a business trip to London planned so she came to visit for a couple of days while she was on this side of the pond. Brenda arrived on Friday and left on Monday. She and Alex crossed paths at the airport as I picked him up from his trip and then dropped her off for her return flight to London.
We didn't have lots of time, but we did have fun spending time in Wassenaar and The Hague, with a particularly nice afternoon and evening in the Scheveningen area of The Hague which is on the beach and at the end of the boardwalk there is a bungy jump - and no, we didn't even consider it! You'll see a brief video clip here of the synchronized kite flying we watched from the pier - quite something, really.
We spent some time at an outdoor place called Peuki, which had comfy seats, open fires and most excellent music. We had dinner at a very interesting Middle East restaurant called Topkapi, which included live music and a sequined dancer who balanced a machete on his head while he danced.
(Left: Brenda is a little naughty...)
We took busses and trams and managed to do a little shopping, eating, drinking and just having a good ol' time! On Sunday we went for a meal at Flamingo Paradise, an Indonesian restaurant right in Wassenaar where we had a proper rijsttafel meal (the pictures show a meal just for two!).
