Wandering around Cambridge

Aaaaand another blogpost finally! I have a bit more time now to post more often as I'm back from my vacation. I recently had the opportunity to roam around Cambridge for an afternoon and even though my feet were killing me (I only had new shoes with me, which were the one's I was wearing...) I did manage to walk around quite a bit. The city is smaller than I expected, and thus I did see the most of the older buildings thankfully! Otherwise I would've hopped on one of those 'hop-on hop-off' busses, even though these are pretty expensive. Either way since this was my first time in the UK all together, I really liked it there. The people are so friendly and warm, which sadly I'm not used to anymore. Anyway, there are many adorable little shops to check out, many cafe's, the museums are all free (this is so great!) and the buildings are quite spectacular to gaze upon. I wish I had better shoes and less heavy bags on me so I could've walked around further. Something for next time if I ever get the chance again!

Here some pictures I took (other ones are on my other blog):

The street where most of the old college buildings are on. 

Because of the font of this little cafe, I read 'nerd' instead of 'Nero',  I still like 'Caffe Nerd' better :D

A great little sweets shop. They had many older styles sweets in there which all looked lovely! I didn't take any since I was feeling a bit nauseated (nothing to do with the shop!)

Koraal Tabak with the dogs

This was the last morning we could go to the beach (where dogs are allowed) with the dogs before they'll start stressing out because of the fireworks. The fireworks here on the island are pretty loud, which I actually love, oddly enough. It just feels right some way or another, guess it's because I grew up with it. Anyway, we went off to the beach and I took plenty of pictures and even filmed sometimes. 

Here is a clip I've made and a couple of pictures :)

Playing around

They're both pretty bad swimmers... One (Rex) splashes A LOT and the other (Maxie) basically jumps in the shallow waters... As you can see here 

Rex, or as I often call him 'sexy Rexy'. Don't ask, it rhymes...

Some other car arrived!

Lucky shot! 

'I never played with sand! How dare you ask!'

Got everything out of the car back home, and they jump back in... Not really willing to get out. (I got the chance to go in the house, grab my camera and come back outside.)

Photography

I decided to open a new blog dedicated to my photography. Here's the link: http://stephanievhphotography.blogspot.com

And this is one of the pictures I've posted on there which is one of my favorites!

Gotta love my little island Curacao :)

Small Christmas shop

As I was catching up with a friend I've known for almost 20(!!) years now, we passed a cute little Christmas shop in Amsterdam centre, so I figured why not share this deliciously yummy christmassy stuff? So here are a couple of pictures :) 

I am really excited for Christmas so there will be many more christmassy posts coming up ~ just so you know :D 

"I'm so excited! And I just can't hide it!" 

They had so much cute stuff! And we were very afraid we might accidentally bump something over and break it, thankfully that did not happen!!

Sorry for the quality, but as you can see everything was super expensive so we did not buy anything. But it's a nice store to visit either way :)

Random picture of the Christmas decor in the street, this one really reminded me of a DNA strand! Yes I find that cool, I'm a nerd :)

Boca Pistol, Curacao

My old computer is pretty much dying on me, so I took my chance and burned all the pictures I have on 3 dvds. Going through them I thought, why not share some? So here are a couple of pictures from 1 of the many impressive spots on one of the islands I grew up on: Curacao. 

Boka Pistol lies within a park called Shete Boka. Boka means mouth in the local language Papiamentu, pistol means gun and shete is the number 7. So by now you would understand that in that park there are 7 'mouths' that the ocean created. It's located at the north-west (yep I just thought about Kanye's and Kim's kid...) side of the island, where the ocean is pretty rough. I love this side because I am obsessed with waves, there 1 spot at that side of the island where you can surf as well, maybe I'll post some pictures of that somewhere in the future. But anyway, this mouth is shaped in a way that when a larger wave crashes into it, the water goes through a narrow spot and as you can see in the picture above (the only one made by me), the water sprays out while making a loud noise, hence the gun reference.

And here are some more professional pictures my dad made for me a couple years ago :)
