High tea from Het Apeldoorns Koffiehuys

At the Apeldoorns Koffiehuys you can have a high tea. While this Corona virus is going around, it is hard to sit at this restaurant to have this high tea (restrictions, etc). So, they offer the high tea at home.

You order it at the restaurant or online. And they will bring it at your door. There will be an instruction in the box of how to make the sandwiches yourself. Easy to do so. 

The only hard choice you have to make, is which kind of high tea you want. You can choose from: 

- high tea (the most chosen one)
- kids high tea
- high tea koffiehuys
- lunch high tea
- breakfast high tea
- picknick high tea

You can order these high teas with gluten free or vegan. 

On 05 December 2021 I had the regular high tea. With this one, you will get: 

Homemade pies:

- apple pie
- brownie
- carrot cake
- walnut-coconot pie

It is served with fresh whipped cream. 

Sandwich:

- smoked salmon 
- fresh egg salad 
- cucumber with mayonnaise 

And finally a wrap with carpaccio, pesto, Parmesan cheese, Pine nuts and sun dried tomato. 

I loved all of it! 😁 It is yummie and tasty. 

The high tea will be delivered in a little pink electic van. Cute to see! Unfortunately I don't have a pic from the van...

Kasteel Staverden, The Netherlands

 Around 1300 count Reinoud I. van Gelre build the castle and some houses. It was his idea to make a village/town out of Staverden, but that never happened. Various dukes of Gelre used the house as a hunting lodge. 

The present house was build in 1904-1905 by Frederik Bernard. He was a mayor of Rotterdam. His family sold the house in 1962 to the foundation Het Geldersch Landschap. This foundation makes restorations to the buildings and area around it. 

The site is also a perfect location for a wedding. It also host a brasserie (restaurant).

You can walk around on the estate. There are 3 routes you can do. The yellow, blue and red route. The yellow and blue routes are both 3 kilometer long, but goes different directions. The red route is 3.5 kilometer long. On 11 October 2021 I did the yellow route. Despite I had some rain during the route, it was really nice to walk around.
