Recently stayed at the Thompson Savannah for a quick weekend getaway with my cousin and his family. This hotel is located about a 10 minute walk away from the town center along the river and a 20 minute drive away from the airport. I have to say I have nothing …
I apologize for not posting about Keukenhof sooner. This was actually from my visit back in 2022, but the garden is open right now and welcoming visitors. Of course, I thought it was still appropriate that wrote down my thoughts on the place here and so that you can start …
