coffee. I had a full savings card and wanted to use that to pay. They
said it wasn't possible, because they changed their name. Funny, I
said, because you did so before YOU gave me the card. Indeed, that was
true, they had continued the old programme for a while but now they
stopped. But they had continued to distribute points all the same,
until last week and would not accept the card filled with points they
had given me...

In weekends you can take a ride on the ponies at the Vossenheuvel or take a tour in the pony cart. Just one euro and a lot of fun for the kids.
De Marienhof is a nice restaurant in the center of Amersfoort. It is not as good as it was a few years ago, but still one of the best places to go in Amersfoort.

The zoo is quite cool. We go there a lot. The children love the "Night house" a building where you can see animals that are awake at night in their natural habitat.
