A haircut and a nice day visiting Utrecht with Bianca

in #life7 years ago (edited)

I'm not a big fan of getting a haircut. It's been like this ever since I was little.

One day I asked Bianca if she could cut my hair.

She said she never cut a men's hair before.

We watched some youtube videos and she gave it a shot.

It was fine.

Since then she cuts my hair and she's getting better at it every time.

After - Not too shabby right :)

We went to visit Utrecht today. It's a city in the Netherlands. We went by train. It's a nice easy ride through the Dutch landscape which pretty much looks like this. Pancake flat but it's home.



A view in the Station

Outside the station we walked straight into a Dutch Market. These waffles are famous in the Netherlands. They are called Stroopwafels. Bianca brought some to Rea and Ezzy when we went to visit.

Just like Amsterdam, Utrecht has canals. This bird decided it was a great place to land just when I wanted to take the photo.

Utrecht is a student city. Also, cars have a hard time entering the center. So you find bikes everywhere.

This is the Dom Tower. The most famous tower of Utrecht. We had a beer under the tower. Utrecht compared to Amsterdam is much cheaper btw.

We had a nice dinner at the side of a canal. It was an Argentinian place.

Between main and dessert a old man started to sing. He was pretty good. Singing old tunes by John Denver, Bob Dylan and Neil Young.



Desert. Lemon pie

Looks like a great day indeed. I really enjoy the pictures you post of your trips. The Netherlands is very beautiful and it seems so rich with history. Seeing the picture of all the bicycles was amazing. I think that would be a good thing that cars can't really get around in the city, it would cut down on the congestion immensely.

The dinner looked amazing and I loved the canal. My wife would absolutely love a dinner like that in that setting.

Thanks for sharing man and you and Bianca have a great rest of your weekend!

Thank you, man! We had a good day indeed!

fantastic post @exyle, i really like your visit of Utrecht, all the photographs are so cool and beautiful, especially i like your nice new haircut, Bianca did a great job by giving you a very nice looking new haircut, the view of the netherland on train is also great and these waffles and food looks so crunchy, i hope it also taste delicious, the bird shot is also amazing no doubt the bird also likes the lake view, so utrecht is no doubt a beautiful place to spent time, i really enjoy your trip to Utrecht, have a very happy rest of the week end, thanks for sharing.

Seems like an awesome day for sure. Your hair don't look bad at all and she's surely improving, lol. Food looks DELICIOUS.

its an excellent day for you a nice haircut and having food just near the canal wow must be awesome feeling the food was looking too delicious amazing pics too :) thanks for sharing it @exyle have a nice day !!

It would appear that an extraordinary day for sure. I truly appreciate the photos you post of your treks. The Netherlands is exceptionally delightful and it appears to be so rich with history. Seeing the photo of the considerable number of bikes was stunning. I imagine that would be something worth being thankful for that autos can't generally get around in the city, it would eliminate the clog immensely.The supper looked astounding and I cherished the waterway. Thanks for sharing friend and you and Bianca have an very cheerful rest of your end of the week!

You have a great weekend too!

Lol, that's strange! First time in my life, I have seen that a wife serves as a barber for her husband. Unique and interesting.
Ask her to make a video next time she does the hair cut, I would love to see that!

A great adventure @exyle, a walk you got I see a very romantic. Meat on the photo looks quite appetizing, even I wanted it myself :) I'm glad for your lucky day! By the way Bianca cuts well :)

She sure does!

I see a lot of cheat meals :)). The waffles look amazing though.

We skipped the waffles but had a pie. But it's a special weekend. You made me think I should make a post about normal things I eat. Just too balance :)

You should definitely do that. New ideas about healthy eating are always welcomed.

My hair had grown out long and shaggy—not in that sexy-young-rock-star kind of way but in that time-to-take-Rover-to-the-groomer kind of way. :D

Bianca did a wonderful job. Your hair looks very nice indeed.
I liked the idea of going (back) to Utrecht after three years.
Nice pictures too!!!
I see in the picture with you and Bianca that she also got a haircut. It looks nice!

Utrecht is really nice and easy to get too as well by train.

@exyle - Oh my goodness, now you looks pretty cool Sir. You had a nice weekend too Sir. Love it & nice you decided to share it. <3 :*

I love Stroopwafels. Here in Canada, you can only find them at specialty stores though. Occasionally, you can find a restaurant that has the proper equipment to make them, but that is rare.

So, when I find them, they are definitely a real treat!!!

Are they also called stroopwafels? Or do they go by another name? And they are yummy indeed.

I know them as Dutch Waffle Cookies.

I found these at the store today.

When I brought them up to the cash register, they scanned at $99.99. I asked the cashier to check the price. He scanned it again, it came out at $99.99 . I asked myself ... did the price of these cookies go up due to the influence of @exyle?

He voided the $99.99 and gave them to me for $1. Then sent someone to the back room to reprogram the price.

Man, that's awesome! I laughed at your story. $99 is a bit much! $1 is a great price. Enjoy the stroopwafels!

My guess is that they were $9.99, but I was very happy with $1.

Smoked Chili on the BGE tonight. I even remembered to take pictures. I'll post tomorrow.

The thing I hate about Amsterdam is that the parking is payed for 50 minutes and you pay for every 50 minutes that you have started :@

Bianca really did her job good with your haircut ;)

The best place for steak is Argentina so I'm not surprised that it looks tasty as fuck!

Parking is bad indeed. Usually, we go by train because of it.

Yes but when you are there to visit and go to many places it's not possible.

Ah, myself and the good lady absolutely love stroopwafels, they are amazing! Defo looks like a good day!

You know stroopwafels! Man, that's awesome. Do they sell them where you at?

They do, we first tried them in Amsterdam many years ago and loved them and hated that we couldnt get them here but now we have the supermarkets Lidl and Aldi they sell them in there so its a win win!

I was living in Amsterdam for 1.5 year when I was doing my studies, but never managed to get to Utrecht. Thanks for little overview :) Waffles and beer look awesome.

Bianca gives a good haircut. Nice trip for your third year anniversary. Those waffles are the best. Haven't had any in years, but I still remember. Dinner looks amazing. Are you spending the night there?

No, spend it at home. Utrecht is only 30 minutes away by train.

You had a great day.
