[summer with the eaters] delft, oudt leyden

Delft.

Ikea always has a way to cheer you up.

And so it cheered my sister up after a rather disappointing *uhm* “summer” morning. We had a nice walk through the showroom, especially the small apartment models. The visit to the store was a quick one however, I only managed to buy the fabric I wanted to buy when I came there with Maarten two weeks earlier, and she managed to buy a lamp and some nice mini stuffed animals.

Then we had a nice late lunch at the restaurant before finally headed to Leiden.

Pannekoek at Oudt Leyden 

That evening we went to the famous pannekoekenhuisje (pancake restaurant) Oudt Leyden we invited Petya and Maarten to come along, so there were four of us there (Koh Nanug decided not to go to the pancake dinner and had a rest at the hotel instead).

And still, I believe that Oudt Leyden has the best pancake in the whole Netherlands. We even had tiramisu that night *yum*

filia visits

My friend Filia visited me twice in Leiden last month, so on her first visit I gave her a proper tour around Leiden, including a pancake lunch at Oudt Leyden, and a walk to the famous windmill Molen de Valk and De Burcht.

De Burcht and some other parts of Leiden,
and later that day we had a pizza dinner.

During her visit she introduced me to her aunt Tante Harti who lives in Leiderdorp and actually went to the same high school as me.. 😛
And a couple of weeks after Filia’s first visit she invited me to go to Tante Harti’s son’s birthday
