Into the Neverlands

Utrecht pinholed

I did this mistake about a month ago upon my first visit to Utrecht and I did it again today. That is if you come to the Neverlands on Sunday make sure to bring some food supplies with you since the supermarkets are gesloten. Closed. Full stop. Adios amigos - hasta mañana!

So here I am with my 35 kilos of life unpacked in my bright and spacious new room which will be my home for the moment munching a bowl of tuna and sweet corn salad which in fact is just the two aforementioned items mixed sans olive oil or mayonaise and sadly sipping on orange juice (instead of 70 cent a bottle of Hoegaarden - compare that with 2.20 Euro in Dublin) which turned out to be out of date (tuna, sweet corn and juice successfully (?) spotted in one of the local let's call it Spars aka shops that sell lots of overpriced crap while the supermarkets are closed). I can sincerely confess that this was one of the few times in my life when I actually was regretting there was no Spar around. If I don't die of hunger overnight my number one destination tomorrow morning is a supermarket. Number two - a bike shop. I feel as I am the only pedestrian in here. What a looser... Especially in 26 degrees!

I told to a new acquaintance of mine that it seemed like nobody was working in Utrecht. They just sip beer or coffee in the outdoor cafes and ride the bikes or drift downstream in their canoes.

By the way, coffee is very good in Utrecht. And you get a biscuit!
