Gilbert - A Fun Vacation: Relaxing

 

On Friday it was sunny and warm.

We decided to take advantage of the sun and sat outside in the garden with a book.

I lounged among the flowers as Sullivan taught me that lounging among flowers is what McPigs do.

In the afternoon we went shopping and then we went to the restaurant at the lake.

For cocktails!

I got a Flamingo cocktail and it was delicious!

I spotted this cool car at the parking lot.

It was a fun day!

On Saturday the weather wasn't nice, so we stayed inside and had a nice lazy day, filled with more reading, drinks, and cheese!

Luckily the weather promised to be nice for Sunday, because we had a last outing planned before going home again.

Coming next: lots of blossoms

Gilbert - Fun, Cider, and Food

A few weeks ago we met up with a friend and had cider and nachos. It was a fun afternoon.

Last week we made cider!

We had lots of apples and used a fruit crusher to shred them so they were easier to press for their juice. We will have to wait a while now for the cider to get ready.

Yesterday we went shopping. I saw this cool edition of Jurassic Park and The Lost World, but our owner thought it was too expensive.

 

After our shopping we went out for dinner at The Five Tastes. We got to sit in a really cozy corner.

There was this friendly beer loving cat.

And a Japanese lady, I think.

I had to order a Wasabi Martini of course!

It was soooo good!

I chilled out with these round head guys.

I think they look really cool!

We had lots of yummy food, and ended the meal with ice cream

 

I had chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

And after the ice cream I had a Mojito!

What a fun day!

 

Gilbert - A Trip and Drinks

Yesterday we went on a trip to Noordpolderzijl.


I got a great spot to take in the views.


I also tried the side mirror, to see what was behind us


I could see myself!


We took a roundabout way through the province so we could enjoy the scenery.






I just love all those open fields, and the sky was beautiful.


We also took some really small country roads. That was really cool and adventurous in my opinion.




Almost there!


Even though Noordpolderzijl is on the coast, we didn't get to the sea as there are lots of fields between the dyke and the sea, and some of those fields are very muddy. I don't like getting muddy. These cows didn't mind too much.




I made a selfie of me, our owner and her OtherHalf!


After a walk we got a drink at the small cafe at Noordpolderzijl.


I also got to taste a beer.


And we got a plate of yummy snacks!


After the drinks and snacks we drove home, we took the quick not so scenic route back, so I didn't take anymore pictures on the way home.




In the evening we went out for dinner with friends who were visiting Groningen. It was at THe Five Tastes, so Sullivan came along, because he knew they had really tasty Wasabi Martini's there!


After the Wasabi Martini we decided to try the Sake-tini.
That one was really yummy as well.


There was a lychee in the Sake-tini!



After dinner we took a walk across the Fish Market.


And had a last drink at a cafe before saying goodbye to our friends and going home.

It was a really cool day.

Gilbert: Drinks, Food, and Books

We went into town yesterday to visit the bookstore. After we got books we wanted something to eat and drink so we went to one of our favorite cafes. Everyone was sitting outside, so we had a whole floor to ourselves.


I got a very yummy blackberry cider.


And I got to try a dark beer as well.


We had sweet potato fries and a goat cheese pizza to go with our drinks.


They were really tasty, especially the fries.


Here are the books we got. One is for Sullivan and the other one for me.

It was a fun afternoon.
