Where?

We looked at living in Leiden. We visited it and it seemed very pretty, with lots of canals. I asked around and was told it was 'too Dutch'. Many people didn't like it and said that if you weren't a biochemist or at the university you would find it tough. 

We looked at Haarlem and liked it a lot. To live near the sea and by a city seemed ideal.


But, we are Jewish and need to be near kosher food selling places. 




In the end, we ended up in Buitenveldert-Oost. A great area, full of playgrounds and parks. The children's school is in Randwijk, which is a prettier area. 

Our house.

 Our street.

And we're only a 20 minute tram ride from this...
