Utrecht

This weekend, Joris and I went to visit Wendy, our dear friend from The Netherlands. She lives in Utrecht, which - as a surprise for me - lived only a bit more than one hour away from Antwerp (my parents live almost as far away). Utrecht is a really lovely town, with a beautiful centre, great little shops and a vibrant cultural life.

This weekend there was the "Festival a/d Werf" - a cultural festival a bit similar to our beloved Summer of Antwerp. We went to see two performances. The first was "Tocht" (which means: Journey - see picture): it was kind of an installation where you had to go through on your own and which took you about half an hour to walk through. It was funny, but was based more on some clever gimmicks than on a real story our constitent whole... On Saturday we went to see a play by a very young company. The theme of the play was young people who want to become famous but are not very talented. A very actual topic, and the play was very funny and lighthearted.
Also the Utrecht nightlife proved tentalising and especially the over-crowded Tivoli night-club was a must-see on our trip...
So Utrecht: really worth a visit!

oh yes PS: beautiful new scarf (see upper picture) only 3 euro in a second hand shop ;-)
