Welcome to B&B Berglust

I am pleased to announce my first blog post. From now on, I will aim to publish a new post every last Friday of the month. Whether you are looking for inspiration for a romantic weekend getaway or tips for planning a romantic trip with your partner, this blog offers plenty of ideas and insights.

We are Lonneke and Duco, and we never thought we would one day own a house with a B&B. But in June 2022, we became the proud owners of B&B Berglust, the perfect place for a romantic weekend getaway in Rotterdam.

We completely renovated the house and gave it our own personal touch. The first guests arrived on 22 July 2022 and were immediately very enthusiastic.

Personally, I never expected to enjoy it this much. I love making people happy, taking care of them, and meeting new people. If you are looking for a cosy retreat with a special atmosphere, then B&B Berglust is the ideal place for your next romantic getaway.

Looking for a Good Place to See Elephants in Thailand

During our trip to Thailand, we really wanted to see elephants. But we wanted to do it in a way that felt right.

We absolutely did not want to ride elephants, watch them perform tricks, or see animals being made to work for tourists. It was important to us that the elephants were well cared for and allowed to live as naturally as possible.

My daughters therefore started looking for different organisations and places where we could see elephants. They read reviews and looked carefully at how the animals were treated. Eventually, we found a small accommodation where three elephants lived.

Before our stay, we contacted the accommodation through Booking.com to ask if we could feed the elephants. We received confirmation that we could, so we were curious to see what the place would be like.
