It takes a man to do Amsterdam together with your girlfriend, Mother and Mother-in-law (well kind of). You might think that it would end up in an endless chitchatting shopping gauntlet or a Bergman-drama of existential questions. It didn’t. Actually, we had a great time.

 

Starting with the ridicously overcrowded (but otherwise nice) van Gogh-museum, we took a cultural grip on the family outing. A lovely lunch later, we strolled the city and visited a few small exhibitions about the city and new waterfront housing projects. I must admit it felt very good to see my mother and Femke’s mother (on the photo, my mother is to the right) finding each other and having a nice time together.
