Vastly Weesp (pronounced Vāsp)

“To Live will be an awfully big adventure.” – Peter Pan

Here’s our hotel in Weesp.
Right next door there was a lovely restaurant along the canal.
Brittany excited to have cheese fondue!
Many people ask me if it’s difficult to find vegetarian options in Europe.We ate here twice so I was able to try both of the veg dishes and they were memorable! Oh, and Brittany liked her fondue too😋
One of several draw bridges in town over the Smal Weesp Canal.
Interesting sculpture
We headed out on bikes one morning. A bit rainy but we pressed on and the day improved.
Sweet belted cows.
Have to include these guys, too!
Path was notably narrow so Brittany had to take a pic.
We had read about this carving…
…almost passed it! “Maria on the tree”
We woke up to a rainy morning and had planned to bike. Instead we hopped a train to Haarlem. Public transportation in this country is absolutely amazing!
16th century church on the main square in Haarlem.
Their organ has over 5,000 pipes – impressive.
This bird was thought to be a pelican back in the day but we thought it looked more like an eagle! We also wondered how/where the creator had ever seen or heard of a pelican in the Netherlands! 🤷🏾‍♀️
After touring the church, we walked out to a totally sunny day! So, we took Brittany to our favorite fry shop – yup, they pretty much only have fries! The owner suggested we top them with “jazz sauce”. Very good, top secret recipe 😉
Found some fun in the neighborhood…
….we all had to give it a try!
Once back to Weesp we visited the local ice cream shop.
The tradition here is to top the ice cream with whipped cream – sooo good – glad they don’t do this at home‼️
❤️❤️❤️
