A night away together in the Netherlands; some time for each other

At the end of October, for the first time in a long time, a night away in the Netherlands is planned with my love. The last time we went out was over a year ago to the Fontana Resort in Bad Nieuweschans. At the time I wrote that we try to do this twice a year, but that was not possible last year due to various circumstances. We have had a very hectic and emotional year and I feel a strong need to go out for a night together again.

A night away together in the Netherlands does wonders

Let me first say, I love my children dearly. But sometimes I really need to recharge. No ge-mama on my mind for a while, but really just time for each other. We have also been saying for years that we need to go away for a few days together, for example make a nice city trip or a holiday in the sun in March, but somehow I can't manage that.

When the children were smaller I found it easier to go away for a few days (midweek) than it is now. It feels as if it now bothers them more, because not only can they stay at home at night, but they also don't like staying with grandma for another week. Anyways, hence the choice to just go away for one night within the Netherlands. And this time not towards the country of Bartje, for example, but really something for us together 😉 . This time we are going to the Veluwe, but there are countless nice places that I would still like to discover together within the Netherlands!

Sometimes we choose to go with our own car, but we have had a period where our own car always had problems and then it is easy to use a rental car to go for example. Do you still come to places where no train or bus runs?

What can you do if you leave together?

I won't go into too much detail on this 😉 , but what we like to do when we go away for a night is explore the Netherlands, relax and catch up. I am thinking of:

  • in a hotel in nature, nice walking together
  • Spend the night somewhere at a sauna complex to really completely relax
  • good food and drink in the respective venue
  • sleep in a bit, but not too long
  • Making cultural trips that the children may not be interested in

Who knows, maybe that's something for you? And if you don't have transport, you can always rent a car. You see more and more rental cars on the road. Not only very handy, but also good for the environment (and your wallet) not to have a car in front of the door as standard, but only to rent one if you really need it.

Tip:are you going out together for a night and do you really want to deepen your knowledge of the time you are away together? Then try the relationship card game from Vertellis. With a lot of positive reviews, this is definitely a must!

Need romance during a night out together?

Frank surprised me two years ago with a very romantic night away in the Netherlands. This was so cool and I'm so surprised and enjoyed it so much that I don't understand why I never wrote an article for you about this. But I'm not giving a spoiler here 😉 , that article will come again. Would you like to know what I'm talking about? Send me an email and I can send you the details by email.

Do you ever go out with your partner?
