You could probably spend weeks just in that one museum. Fascinating.

Wonderful pictures! This whole series of pictures from the Netherlands has been amazing and provided a very much needed lift these days.

Thank you for sharing these, definitely on the list when I get to Amsterdam (hopefully). We will be in Montmarte in a few days, with luck on a sunny day.

In 2014, we did the self-guided Van Gogh Walk, with some company I can’t remember. We stayed in St. Remy two nights, walking a loop one day and then on to Les Baux de Provence on the second day. They gave us a detailed guidebook and arranged for lodging and luggage transfers. It was a good arrangement as we were living in New Zealand at the time and it was helpful to have the arrangements.
We walked by the walls of the asylum several times. But the real insight was up on the Alpilles (the small mountains south of St. Remy). It was blisteringly hot. The trees and the sky seemed to vibrate in the heat and suddenly, his brush strokes made a new kind of sense to me.

I was in Amsterdam with friends about 15 years ago, wanted to visit that museum. None of my friends wanted to go, so I spent 3 hours wandering through it by myself. It’s fantastic.

Thanks for the reminder, I also need to go there!

@J.: You’re welcome, and you definitely do! If you are heading to Amsterdam, I would advise booking your museum visit (they do reserved timed entry to keep the crowd flow manageable and even) at least a month in advance.

It’s a great way to spend an afternoon, or a whole day even.

Thanks! And you’re welcome! More to come…

@S Cerevisiae: Enjoy! And if you want to visit the Van Gogh when you make it to Amsterdam, make sure to reserve your tickets/visit at least a month before. It tends to sell out about that far in advance.
Captain C
@Nelle: That sounds like an amazing trip!
Captain C
@JustRuss: Excellent! It really is a great museum.
Captain C
@PJ: You do!
