Are we there yet?
After nearly two years of planning and working on it, we are finally here.
Today, in exactly one week, we leave for Pieter’s birthday trip. Not just any birthday, a big one.
He turns 60!
To celebrate this big number, he wanted to do what he does best: Eat. Drink. Travel. From there the idea of a culinary adventure through Europe took form.
Since it is a big birthday, we invited friends and friends-of-friends to join us for part of the journey. There will be a big group of people with us on the cruise to celebrate on the actual day.

A quick overview of our itinerary:
- Paris
- Milan
- Venice
- Florence
- Rome
- Cruise
- Pisa
- Livorno
- Villefranche-sur-Mer (Monaco)
- Marseille
- Sète
- Barcelona
- Madrid
- Valencia
- Barcelona
- Paris
In case you are wondering… in every city (except for one or two on the cruise) we have an organized food tour.
There is also twenty (already planned and booked) train journeys in there!
As always, expect some stories about adventures, praising delicious “nibbly-bits and drinky-poos” and lots of photos as we try our best to keep up this journal.


The gówniaki is not impressed, and/or depressed.
