Last weekend, we turned ourselves into busy bees because we wanted to enjoy the sunny weather with temperature of 10°C to 19°C. Dutch people appreciate it a lot. They are really enthusiastic to go outside and do some recreational activities under the sun. For us, we loved to visit nice places here in The Netherlands. We preferred now to go some places near Almere and Dennis chose to go last Satuday in Lelystad where you could find there the first fashion outlet here in Netherlands, the "Batavia Stad".
Batavia Stad was named after the ship Batavia, a ship of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). A replica of this ship in 1628, is anchored nearby at the Bataviawerf. In order to stay in style, Batavia City is built in the shape of a seventeenth-century building. Some of the houses are built of wood.
You will find women, men and children, shoe trends, lingerie, perfumes and sports and outdoor wear. Hundreds of shops and more than two hundred fifty major brands. There are also seven restaurants, including McDonald's, Subway and La Place, a dog kennel and there is plenty of parking.

Here are some pictures from Batavia that I captured on my camera.               
After that, we went to the centrum of Lelystad and visited the snack bar which owned by one of Dennis' friends. Of Course! On that day too, we did shopping but the things that we bought there were only for Dennis because I had always time to go shopping when Dennis was at work. :)
At night, my cousin sent a message to me if we wanted to go the next day in Keukenhof because my other cousin who had vacation here for three months was leaving next week. Keukenhof is also known as the Garden of Europe and the world's largest flower garden situated near Lisse, Netherlands. So even it was not the right term to visit Keukenhof because the flowers were just starting to bloom, we decided to go and meet again my family here in Netherlands. So it seems like a "Family Reunion". I was so excited on that day. Aside from being first timer there, I missed also my nieces and nephew. We had fun on that day with beautiful flowers around us.
