Dream Weekend: An ideal weekend without limitations of time, distance and money
Margreet Reijntjes (52)
With my beloved Steven (55) I have two sons (14 and 15 years old)
FRIDAY 17:00 hrs
SATURDAY 10:00 hrs
At the end of the day, together with our families, we sail in our boat over the Loosdrecht lakes. It is a lovely, balmy summer evening and we consume the wine and snacks we have brought along. Every so often, we take a dip in the cool water. We play a round of volleyball in a shallow area of the lakes. Our final destination is the terrace of ‘De Dikke Muis’ (The Fat Mouse) in Loosdrecht where the sun never seems to set.
A few months later, on the same lake, we do a long skating trip. Nothing pleases me more than to glide over the frozen lake on a crisp winter day; the ultimate freedom of motion. To warm up, we drink warm chocolate milk with rum in our old local cafe ‘De Toog’ in the Old West area of Amsterdam.
