Hattem and Zwolle are very high on the list. The Kroller Muller Museum looks intriguing but probs a bit hard to reach with public transport? Next Amsterdam trip is planned for the summer :)

Dishoom menu card and tokens for matka

Dishoom menu card and tokens for matka

If you are in the UK and love an Indian meal at Dishoom as much as I do, I'll let you in on a secret: ask your waiter to play Matka and give you a special token. If you roll a six during the game you get your meal free (for up to 12 people in your party, Mo-Fr before 6pm). It's fun #TravelAddicts

I finished reading Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch novel last night. I am still wallowing in post-read misery. It was so good and heartbreaking. Love a multilayered, complex drama paired with art and a realistic main character. Revisit to Den Haag is also planned now.
