Delft Travel Blogs

Delft an old town just under Den Haag. Delft is built in the year 1200 and in this time Delft build a wall around the town. In the year 1246 Delft became city rights. What can you do on a Monday? And when the temperature is about 29 degrees?  Something on the water would be nice. Delft off…

Meetup in the beautiful city - Delft.

Keiko, one of TB's most active buddies, organised a mini meet-up for fellow TB-ers on Sunday 27 September in Delft. I was invited through a personal message, which I only got to see late Saturday night. Not by Keiko’s fault, mind you, I just hadn’t been on TB for a few days. In her message …

As mentioned in a previous entry, I quite rightly said Delft was worthy of a second visit and therefore another blog on TB, well here it is. This time with my other half Jaap and my parents (or 'The Golden Oldies' as we affectionately refer to them!) in tow with me today....and what a day to choose…

Meeting friends in late sunny September and enjoying the canalride, walking through and having dinner in Delft :-)

A wonderful Sunday in good company with some great Travbuddy friends and having the luck of sun all day. I had never been to Delft and given the possibility to visit it with a whole bunch of Dutch tour guides was too good to say no to.

Wim (my husband) and I had bought a new digital camera and wanted to try it out. We've been a thousand times to Delft before because the city is not far away from my hometown and we love this city very much! We haven't got any digital photo's of this lovely city, so we dicided to go by bike! It's a…

The stories & pictures of meeting Travbuddys

A really advantageous thing about the Dutch railways is that you can jump on and off the line so long as you maintain your route (another helpful lesson from Rudolph).  Thus we decided to hop off and explore Delft a bit during our return from Kinderdijk.  Kim has an eye for pottery an…

i've heard and seen delft through films, pictures, paintings and where the exquisite ceramic potteries are made.  i've seen it in nosferatu (klaus kinski remake) where the vampyr was running in the evening across the plaza and the girl with the pearl earring and i decided to visit this pl…

An afternoon at Delft. Sunny weather, nice company all added to the pleasure of visiting a town I've never been before

This week a friend asked me if I wanted to join him to go order his new kitchen at the Ikea. I always like to go to the Ikea. We wanted to go as early as possible, because it is weekend and everybody in the Netherlands go to the Ikea at a saturday. So we arrived at 10:00 in the morning. We went to …

Pretty Delft, with it's lily canals and beautiful churches is like a cleaner version of Amsterdam. It's nice to see canals not clogged with tourist boats and rubbish-littered water. Delft has two churches, an old and a new one, both equally impressive. Delft is famous for it's white and blue painte…

So this day started in Utrecht, when I checked out that hotel I had to pay a 6 euro city tax, instead of arguing with the Chinese again on payment i paid and told myself this is the last time i come here, maybe even Utrecht!!! I had to check out my hotel at 10am and wasnt scheduled to meet up with…

2 weeks of relaxing, reunion, fun & "different", to sum it up :))
