Blue - Amsterdam at your feet

After nearly six years living in Amsterdam you would think that you would know the city inside-out by now. Fortunately not! It is still possible to be surprised by undiscovered places. I do remember to have read about this place and today I seized the opportunity to visit BLUE with her amazing view and surprising story which I'd like to share with you...


The story about two relatively young girls in their mid-twenties, who had just finished their studies when they fell in love with this magnificent 360 viewpoint high up in the sky in the heart of Amsterdam. It's been three years since the sisters got the green light to start their own business. These days, after 3 years of hard work, entrepreneurship, creativity and some support from a business partner, Loes and Lotte de Vos lead a workforce of 15 people. All started as a coffee and lunch room. During day time you still can enjoy your latte with a nice sandwich. For the evenings the location is rentable for all kinds of events in their fancy though cozy location - wine tasting, weddings, you name it. And yes, the view is stunning! Jealous? hmmm may be a bit ;-)


If you're in the neighborhood - although if you're not, Blue is worth a detour - grab your camera and enjoy the ambiance!

Belle belle Paris, vous êtes magnifique!

Paris is such a special city to visit. Although I can't count my visits on 2 hands anymore, still I just love it to be there. To hear the language, to taste 'des vins et des baguettes', to look at the nicely dressed people, to feel the history and ancient. Every time I discover new spots and lovely places. But also the known places are stunning, over and over again. 

Last weekend I spent a couple of days there with some friends, without a program, no urge to see the hotspots. Just enjoy beautiful sunny Paris in autumn! 

I don't think I need to go into detail to convince you. Pictures will say more than words….
