When @de_insta_mem brought us a secret package a few weeks ago, I was intrigued. It had come from the secret speakeasy bar in Leeuwarden.
...
"The what?"
...
Leeuwarden may be my favourite city up here in the north, but I'd never heard of @dr.watsonlwd. I've walked down the street it's apparently on multiple times, but it's so secret I've never spotted it. I guess it's a very good speakeasy then right?
...
There were two cocktails inside, all measured to perfection, with every ingredient there ready to be poured into the cool cocktail tumblers that were also provided in the bag. Pretty neat huh? I'm not a massive drinker but I will sink a cocktail like a glass of cold Vimto on a hot day, and this was the perfect excuse to be a bit naughty before the weekend had even arrived.
...
Want to know which cocktails we got and which one was my favourite? Or where this bar 'possibly' is? There's a new post live on nether-netherland with all the answers. The link is in my bio as always.
...
What's your favourite cocktail of all time?

Happened across this bright fella in the center of Heimbach as we wandered through the streets. It's a tiny, colourful library! I'm not sure it fits with the general decor of the medieval town, but I sure like me a bit of colour and street art, and I think this qualifies, right?

"When you tell your 4 year old to 'say cheese!'" They keep telling me posing gets easier. I keep telling them I prefer candid photos cuz ^^^^^. Very cool portcullis though.

This is The Red House. Except someone doesn't know their colours cuz this is clearly pink(?), peach(?) - answers on a postcard!
🏰
Obviously the most spectacular building in Monschau (which is why there are so many people on the tiny bridge, and thus why I steered clear of said tiny bridge), The Red House is from the 18th Century, and used to be owned by a cloth manufacturer back in the day. Now it's a museum that gives guided tours, but it wasn't open for obvious reasons so I've got no idea if it's as grand inside as it is outside.
🏰
Can you spot: the Instagrammer in action on the bridge?

Kind of felt bad for eating this little guy: look at his smiley face holes!! Ok there's definitely a better way to say that.
🥨🥨🥨
I am easy to please. Snacks and food are my favourite things, and heading off on holiday where new adventures await (foreign supermarkets are my bag) means tucking into the local favourites.
🥨🥨🥨
Pretzels are a big one for me. They used to sell them in Albert Heijn and I'd treat myself to one most school days, but then they stopped and I had to go cold turkey.
🥨🥨🥨
We hunted for proper bakeries in Germany for the ultimate pretzel, but I kinda feel like they're either not as well loved as I feel they are, or that they're SO well loved that they fly off the shelves instantly. Either way, we didn't find any fresh pretzels. I did find this jolly fellow going stale in the local Lidl though and foraged it out of the plastic bread casing thing they have in supermarkets to keep bread and other delights away from filthy fingers. Although a little dry, this little guy made my day 😄👌🏻
🥨🥨🥨
Are you a pretzel lover?

You may think I'm trying to pose in this photo (& you all know how good I am at that 🙃) but I'm holding onto the tree because I'm stood on the edge of the woods and behind me is an almost sheer drop. This photo was supposed to have a bit of the beautiful lake in the background but... I'm stood in front of it, soooo, I guess jt's just a photo of me 🤗. This is also the jumpsuit from hell that I alluded to in yesterday's story. Whyyyy did I buy such a difficult item of clothing?? I literally had to not drink a lot to avoid needing the loo, and I'm not about that lifestyle.
