I wanted to keep my blog up to date kinda and decided to upload the pictures of my \u00a0weekend away on 19- 21 september.<\/p>\n

For a while I had been thinking to just go a weekend away on my own to put some thoughts in my head at ease and relax and last but not least have a nice stress free weekend. The problem was where was I going to spend that weekend at. I did not wanted to trigger memories that would stress me so certain areas where just off limits. One place where I have not \u00a0been and where I liked to go was Scheveningen. Its a \u00a0town at the coast of Holland directly at the Sea. Naturally I wanted to have a nice luxury hotel directly or very close to the beach since i have no other transportation then public transportation and my own legs. After checking websites for a week or so I came to conclusion that Scheveningen was just going to be too expensive, especially because the hotel I had let my eye fall on was top notch. Nothing wrong with that except that I didnt wnated to trigger any feelings of guilt neither.. because that would stress me out too.. And the plan was to relax.<\/p>\n

So after some more browsing and surfing and a few days thinking I decided to go to Egmond aan zee<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0Hotel Zuiderduin<\/a>\u00a0is a 4 star hotel with a pool, wellness center, and nearby the beach. Breakfast was included and it was very affordable. My double room had a bath and shower and was on the second floor. Unfortunately my view was the parking lot. Oh well, can’t have it all right?<\/p>\n

My weekend was awesome. The weather was great and I enjoyed my time \u00a0away a lot. Sure, I missed the family at home but we talked online \u00a0in the evening with video chat so that was taken care of as well. Dining alone was a little bit odd so the first evening I ate a pancake at a terrace directly at the beach. It tasted marvelous with a glass of whine and the view, my first evening went well. Back at the hotel I took a nice long bath n read my book, scrubbed my skin and \u00a0put on a face mask. After my own little wellness evening I was like reborn.. I sleep well and the very next morning I got up at 9, took the time to wake up and get dressed to go downstairs for breakfast.<\/p>\n

The breakfast was ok but after the amazing breakfast we had in the 5 star hotel Kapinsky in Budapest it seemed a tat poor. That was however a price winning breakfast in international competition, so really, I was spoiled there with that and to compare them was a little bit unfair. However it did tasted well and after breakfast I went back to my room to get ready to spend a day outdoors, walking the beach, making lots of pictures of the sea and the lighthouse and visiting the little town where I was staying. After a wonderful sunny day I decided to have a real diner in a nice restaurant this time. Restaurant La chatelaine<\/a> in Egmond aan zee I would really recommend if you ever may visit that town.<\/p>\n

I went checking out all the restaurants and went to small and cozy restaurant where they served a very fine steak with again a nice glass of whine. I skipped dessert and after a short walk on the beach I went back to the hotel and had some video chat with little one and hubby. Not too long because again I created a wellness evening for myself with reading a book in bath, scrubbing my skin and a nice face mask again. After reading some more in bed I went to sleep. This time I did not sleep very well and I was glad when the morning came. Another nice breakfast before I checked out and a walk on the beach. This last day, sunday the wind was a little stronger and the waves a lot higher. I saw people kite surfing today which was kinda cool.<\/p>\n

When my ears where cold from the wind, I walked back to the town and after buying something I had seen the day before I went back to the hotel to pick up my suitcase. And like 1 and a half hour later I was back home again in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
