06/06/2024 Entry: "Coffee talk"
  Coffee talk
The weekend presented itself in a self-indulging form of facials, haircuts and Godiva chocolates. In between orgasmic bites (the truffle amere and the azteque are highly recommended Godiva picks for dark chocolate fans like myself) we managed to squeeze in two movies and a couple of hours at Starbucks doing travel research. It's funny how exciting planning for a trip can actually be. For a couple of hours, I even forgot that in the next three weeks leading up to my departure, I actually have to send ten magazines to press. TEN. But reading about the Hollandsche Manège (Dutch royal riding school) proved distracting enough.. thankfully :) Am even toying with the idea of taking the express to Paris for a night to see the tacky laser show at the Eiffel Tower and blow some bucks on french theatre. I'm even thinking in French while planning.. you know le-tu-eff-ell, see-vu-pleh, dear-French-cabbie and all that (because saying it out loud would bring me back to reality). The other alternative would probably be Belgium, you know, to visit chocolatiers and attack this Godiva addiction at the source. Or, stay in Amsterdam and see more there. I'm actually going to be doing a spot of work while I'm there as well. Writing an article. Lips sealed for now but maybe Ferry Corsten would be free to do an interview. And I will be staying in this bizarre hotel that used to be a juvenile prison back in the day, before 4 guys decided to turn it into an interior driven hotel. You actually have a pick of 5-star to 1-star rooms (rates differ, of course) each designed by different designers from all over the world, and it even has a proper library and culture centre. I can't wait to see if I get a room with a shower in the middle or a bed suspended 6 feet in the air. Oh, and wait for this: I'm backpacking! Imagine me, sans stilettos and proper haircare. How exciting.
