Best of the week ending 10 August 2024

Un P’tit Truc En plus

Watched Un P’tit Truc En plus. Seen in the Filmhuis Alkmaar. It is a very funny and sensitive movie by Artus about a group of people with disabilities with two bank robbers hiding amongst them.

We are planning our holiday to Uzbekistan, and this amazing documentary on YouTube is better than many travel books.

Enjoyed Robert Rodriguez – Ten Minute Film School

Liked this documentary about Cindy Sherman.

Home – Wandelnetwerk Noord-Holland

I think the best hiking site in the Netherlands. Although there are some wonderfully white spots in the network the discover. For example Amsterdam and the whole area to the west including Haarlem and the coastal area.

We are planning a trip to New Zealand and Japan. Why is “Skyteam Round the World” still suspended?

https://www.skyscanner.nl/

Skyscanner is great. I would love to see the option that would allow you to specify departure date plus or minus three days, then skyscanner searches for the cheapest option within that time period.
