May 30...another month has gone by...but a very special one for me here on Bloesem and I hope you had fun too visiting all these international places through Bloesem...the World Tour started in my beloved city of Amsterdam...and I'm really happy that we're going to end** the Tour here as well...with a special report from an Australian women who lives in Amsterdam and whom I got to know a little bit more this year when she started her own gorgeous blog, packed with amazing images by herself and from other people..it's Pia Jane Bijkerk ...
"I’m a wanderer. I love to wander wherever I am and try to make the time to do so as often as I can. My new home is Amsterdam, and I am head over heels for it’s quaint bridges, canals, and wonky old buildings. I love putting on my strolling shoes and wandering in Amsterdam, and this is one of my favourite wanders in this gorgeous city:
I start at utrechtstraat which is a strip of fabulous restaurants, cafes, homeware stores...CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL REPORT>>>

**Did I say 'end'...well yes the May Tour is ending, but Bloesem is going to continue the World Tour every Friday when somebody from around the globe is going to give us a new report from a special place were he or she lives...so next week we're going to continue with a report from Kyoto in Japan by the sweet Amy from Pikkaland...

Thanks so much! I'm taking friends visiting from Abu Dhabi on a tour June 17. We'll be sure to make these stops (I especially love the idea of watching the candles being changed out).
