    Look Up

    When I (often) discuss my love for Amsterdam I am quite frequently met with a glazed expression and the question, “of all the places in the world, Amsterdam?” and my answer is and always will be, YES. I have travelled to Amsterdam numerous times over the years with Mr C and I have also visited as a young child on countless occassions to visit family friends in Holland.

First on the agenda was breakfast. But it turned more in to Brunch by the time we had lazily got up and showered. We had spotted this super cute and pretty funky art cafĂ© on Overtoom called Friday Next. Adorned with really cool interior pieces and gifts, there was so much to look at whilst we ate our delicious eggs and bacon! Plus, it was the first time I’ve ever drunk tea out of a tall glass!
