Utrecht – Ik houd van jou



Three weeks ago Sandra and I went to Utrecht – my new favorite city in the Netherlands. With his charm, old houses and nice little shops with all the stuff you DON’T need but which are lovely and totally awesome.
But to begin with Saturday of that weekend we planned about a month ago that we want to go to a fish spa where we got a very good and cheap offer. SO we met at the metro station and walked to the spa both wearing skirts because as we young girls all wear skinny jeans you can’t roll them up to you knee anymore xD
At the spa the first feeling of the fishes was really strange because you feel them some kinda “eating” the died skin and stuff from your feet. After about 20 minutes we also got our feet creamed  with lotion and a little massage. Our feet felt better than before and it was a nice experience and I would definitely do it again.
 


After a wonderful girls night with a little more serious movie (Komt een vrouw bij een dokter) and some snacks we went to Utrecht on Sunday.
As it is really common to buy “Dagkaatjes” (Day tickets for the Dutch Train System)which you can by at different stores. They cost between 14 and 17€ and are valid for one day all around the Dutch train system (NS). As I have a weekend free ticket, I don’t need it but Sandra had one and we planned to go to Utrecht. It is around 40 minutes from Rotterdam so the time in the train passed by fast.
When we got there we easily found ourselves in the center as the central station is totally in the middle of it. There we searched for the “Dom torren” which we found easily. But as you can just go up there with a tourist tour and we were about 10 minutes late we decided to just come back soon. Then we discovered some nice shops and as there was sale we couldn’t stand it to not buy stuff xD

Then we searched for a “Eetcafe” to have lunch and we found one where the food was awesome, delicious and it was a lot :P
With full stomachs we headed back to the central station where we found a cute traffic light – The lights were bunnys (red->hanging ears; green-> ears up) and the zebra crossing was in the colors of the rainbow :)
Pretty tired but happy we went back by train chatting about the nice weather and the beautiful city.
