From Scheveningen to Muenster

I have not posted anything after my Baltic trip, mostly because I was so busy with my work (and getting back to real life :-P). Time just passed by so fast... a lot of deadlines at work and especially because finally I found a new apartment (so exicted!!), I have signed the contract already and will move soon (1st of Nov..). So it is going to be very busy in the near future too..
It means also there will be no traveling (no budget anymore :-() before my going back home in December (that will be very exciting too since I will meet my nephew who was just born last month... :-P).

Those are my excuses for have not traveled that much after Baltic...though actually the weekend after Baltic I went to Scheveningen, the Netherlands for Ruben's birthday party. Scheveningen is a famous beach area in the Netherlands (the most famous one I think), it is located close to Den Haag about 3.5 hours from Duesseldorf. Ruben is my ex colleague in TU/e and he moved to DH after getting a job there and he invited some of his ex colleagues. It was my first beach party, very nice one and we're lucky to have quite a nice weather (the weather forecast said it would be rain that day), there was no rain though it was a bit chilly later on. It was always nice to meet some old friends and I was a bit surprised that it was really lovely in Scheveningen by night :-)



After that I spent one day in one weekend to visit Muenster, an old town nearby Duesseldorf that I planned to visit for quite a long time. There was a marathon when I was there, so the town was crowded with people and I was lucky that day was kind of Open Day for Muenster which means that some museums and some special buildings gave free entrance to the visitors. I spent the whole day walking around and visited some interesting places...indeed Muenster is a lovely old town.
