Visit Amsterdam light festival
Amsterdam light festival takes place in Amsterdam between November and January every year. It’s a light installation where artists from all over the world showcase light installations all over the city. You can chose to take two different routes either by foot or by boat, and yesterday I decided to go the foot route which stretches around Artis and Hortus. Below are some fantastic installations we saw. It’s a mixed back of installation, some great, some lesser so but I love the idea of celebrating the city you’re in my these type of events. I think between Amsterdam Dance event, Museumnacht and gay pride this is one of my favorite events in the city!

I also had time for dinner with one of my closest friends and two of her friends at Hoxton. After a super busy week I took it easy and decided immediately after dinner to seek refuge in my lively bed?. I think sometimes we forget to just unwind and stop every so often. Generally I have a pretty packed schedule every day between work and catching up with friends I forget that sometimes your mind and body just need to recharge and have some alone time..the best surprise of the evening though…my love had been there earlier in the day and ordered a bottle of bubbles to be delivered with our starter. That just sums up why he’s the man in my life!!
On Hoxton though unfortunately Lottis is a bit of a disappointment. The bar is great for a cocktail but the food is mediocre at best, and the staff is not quite attentive enough. It’s a true expat place though so if you want to get away from the typical brown bars this is a great place, but I always think it’s an interesting sign of the locals don’t frequent a new place…
