A Gala de Fogo que não vimos


O casal vietnamita e indonésio que vos falei no último post tinha vindo de Roterdão para estar connosco nesse serão. Os planos passavam por jantar no Pulcinella (o nosso restaurante italiano favorito e que fica situado em Almere Haven), e depois assistir à Gala de Fogo em Almere Strand, no âmbito do Festival Europeu de Malabarismo. Mas a cacimba dessa noite fez-nos preferir ficar por casa, após o jantar no acolhedor Pulcinella, num serão de conversa que durou até às duas e vinte da manhã...

Eis, pois, a Gala de Fogo que não vimos e que se transformou numa alegre noite de convívio entre copos de Ice Tea com sabor a lichia e chips de milho e batatas fritas......;-)

The Amazing Oostvaardersplassen


As usual, in January, we went  to Oostvaardersplassen, a nature reserve located between the cities of Almere and Lelystad. The outstanding  Markermeer lake Winter views - a mix of water, ice and snow - never stop to amazing me. I love Oostvaardersplassen!

Each year, the landscape offers breathtaking views and incredible snapshots opportunities.

In spite of the cold - and yesterday was freezing because of the wind -, here and there, photography lovers try to take their best snapshots. Not always easy. Yesterday, I felt my hands burning with the cold - I had forgotten my gloves without tips in another jacket.

I had to stop shooting once in a while, to put on my fleece gloves to warm up a bit and then, again, take them off, so I could try another shot. Looking at the peer, I took my chance - in spite of the wind - and went there for a walk. For some moments, when I was trying to shoot, I felt like if I was in a shaking boat.

We really needed to warm up by then and we drove afterwards to Almere Poort, looking for a cafe. We spotted the Cafetaria De Heerlijkeid and we stopped there to enjoy a coffee and a toast. Delicious! It felt so good!

I would have liked to take more pictures yesterday,

but I decided to warm my hands up, instead, as you may understand ;-)
