๐ฉ ROAD TRIP FOOD ๐ฉ recognize this? You got it all prepared; hot water for coffee and tea, bananas and prepped oatmeal for lunch, snacks within a hands reach.... but with a DD every half a mile or so, it's hard to ignore. You gotta use the bathroom at some point, right? ๐ To be honest, I'm not a big fan of donuts. But I did love the munchies and my chai latte though! Let's settle for do-as-the-locals-do ๐ We drove from Cape Cod (were we spotted whales!) via Boston to the White Mountains National Forest. To be continued! #dushilegolife #roadtrippin
๐ฅพ C L I F F W A L K ๐ฅพ at Newport, Rhode Island. This 3.5 mile walk takes you along the coast of Newport - quite literally! Some nice pathways, some pebbles, some rocks, some sand... it all leads you through the backyards of very humble houses... The wind prohibited me from taking some Dushi shots-with-a-view but was very welcome because we underestimated the temperature ๐ We parked at the Fourty Steps so we did the 3.5 mile up and down again to get back. Highly recommend that, especially before sunset. The light reflecting on the sea, gardens and houses, makes it even more beautiful. #cliffwalknewport #dushilegolife
๐ฆช S E A F O O D ๐ฆช at sea. With a view. Day 1. After a long day of traveling and a very short night in NY - so excited, arrived at the hotel at 2am and although we agreed to sleep in, we were up & running realy early - we took a nice long lunch break during our road trip to Rhode Island. Away from the highway (we say 'weg van de snelweg') we ended up at the lovely @rileysbythesea near Stratford, with delicious seafood and super friendly staff. Along the way, we enjoyed the first signs of autumn, the architecture, the viewpoints, the (attraction) signs on the side of the road; who knows the submarine capital of the world? Anyone? And did you know speed control by airplane is a thing? #connecticut #legotravel #dushilegolife
โ S H E ' S B A C K โ Dushi is back from a social media break and ready to share her adventures again! It has been a while since my last post and a lot has happened; changed job, moved houses and ofcourse C. It took the C out of creativity. But Dushi did join on island adventures, enjoyed much island time and did her best to support local entrepreneurs by spending all her time off on staycations. This first trip abroad in two years seems like the perfect moment to pick up were we left it. Prepare yourself for some vacation fun first and then we'll take you to all the new places we discovered on Dushi Krosou! #legostagram #minifig #legopic #legofan #toyphotography #legominifigure #bricksinfocus #dushilegolife
โ B L O O PO E R S โ Friday 13th feels like the right day to share those moments where the camera captured Dushi and mine's less fortunate moments when posing for what have could been a great shot ๐ First, panama boulevard. Dushi fell all the way down into the concrete breakwaters and I had to dig him up from the trash... Second, Dushi tried to downhill in the 'tiefschnee' but a sudden gust of wind put him face down... luckily minifigs keep smiling, even then! Third, was very illustrative of my luck on the mountain bike during our trip in Belgium. The paths (or here, the asphalt) turned out to be next level balance exercises! Finally, trying to pose when Dushi took you to the kite spot due to good winds was not a good plan to begin with... sandblasted and kite parts all over the place, covert in salt. Not to mention that untangling the lines was impossible. #friday13th #bloopers #afol #legolife #bricklife #minifigurelife #dushilegolife #legophoto
๐ซ F I R S T S T O P ๐ซ Cartagena, Colombia! I've been there before and absolutely love this city. The old town is, although very touristic, stunning. Pitoresk and colourful houses, nice authentic shops and restaurants, partly a fortress and the people are super friendly. We strolled the narrow streets and decided to walk over the boulevard to the new part of town. A big contrast! But it is loveable, clean streets and modern buildings. 30.000 steps in the warm climate... is was a good thing the next would be a day at sea! #cartagena #colombia #pullmanturcruises #travelingminifig #legotravel #legolife #minifigurelife #bricklife #dushilegolife
โด D U S H I C R U I S E โด so, for who wondered what we were gona do in Colon... we embarked on a cruise! Lots of fun for everyone, no matter your size (or age). We missed being out on the seas, the beautiful sunsets and sunrises, the emptiness and the possible sea life. And of course, cruising is way different then working at sea but still... we wanted to find out whether cruising could be our new hobby.

'Put little diamonds in their place just like those iron beads when we were kids' said the more-than-full-time-working friend. And me? I like to listen to books, finish coloring pages for adults... and since off today I like to build lego sets! I never had a building set, I buy single pieces and those series-bags. Every once in a while I try to 'moc' something, just to discover (again) I have almost no bricks to build a couch. Or diamond-frame-representative. Only a quite respectable amount of accessories. Now I've build this Lego Architecture set, I'm hooked. Not just because of the joy of building for it self but in this particular set mainly the joy of good memories of an awesome trip!

โก Sย H E K N O W Sย N O A G E โกย the moment I saw this minifigure in series 19, I knew it: this is my mom. She turns 58 next week. Just a single grey hair. She discovered the #mountainbike some ten years ago but last year she took it to the next level (and beyond). She joined a club, took (master)classes, a trainer-training and... soon she will start giving lessons at the club! She surprised me during our vacation in Bonair with her skills, she jumped effortless over a hole in the road and skillfully descended from rocky parts. She is fearless and sees no limitation in her age. More then once I wake up to a photo im my whats app from her, covered in mud, shining next to a obstacle she overcame. My mom is the living proof in all that she does that no matter your gender, or age, you can do what you want. Just put your mind to it and ignore the protest of the people that don't support you and are limited by their ideas.

Events are canceled, institutions like the national railways and homeless shelters take measures to keep the people cool and hydrated and these boys deliver a superhuman performance without time to recover because tomorrow will be as important ร nd hot as today. Being a top athlete they are super fit and this is debilitating. Unhealthy. But the show must go on! De Tour wacht op niemand. #tourdefrance2019 #heroes #tourdefrance #tdf #cycling #letour #procycling #letourdefrance #maillotjaune #france #deavondetappe #lego #legolife #legophoto #legophotography #afol #minifigure #minifigurelife #dushilegolife
โ O T R A B A N D A 2/2 โ some more shots taken during the guided walk with @dushiwalkscuracao last week. The art on the walls on every unexpected but suitable spot makes you fall from one surprise to the other with every corner you turn. Some are made by artist, others by residents and the best are made in collaboration with the kids living near. To let them discover what they can do with their imagination and talent. And isn't it the colorfull art that pops up everywhere, then you'll be amazed by the colours of the houses. โก๏ธ swipe to see the oldest bar of Curacao: Netto Bar, where the traditional green rum 'Rรฒm Bรจrdรจ' . It's a place where locals and tourists easily blend. #curacao #nettobar #willemstad #rightnowincuracao #muralsofcuracao #murals #legoย #legophoto #legolife #legophotography #afol #minifigurelife #minifigure #dushilegolife
โ O T R A B A N D A 1/2โ last Friday a friend and I took a guided tour through a neighbourhood of Willemstad, called #otrabanda with @dushiwalkscuracao . Otrabanda means 'the other side' or, in this case, 'the other bank' because seen from from the city centre (Punda), this part of town is at the opposite bank of the Annabay. Once wealthy and prosperous, now mostly decayed, faded glory and the residents are poor. Some streets are better not to be visited on your own. Luckily for us there is Shirley who invests time, money and goods with great dedication and therefore is able to take outsiders to see the historical buildings, murals telling the history and proud of the neighbourhood and quite a few #kodakmoment locations. This all accompanied with background stories told by Shirley as colorfull as the buildings and paintings themselves. Because, don't get fooled: the people may not be rich but are certainly not without talent! I couldn't remember the names of all the artist unfortunately and especially not from this one: I was enchanted by this boy's eyes! โก๏ธ swipe to have a closer look Feel free to add information on this mural and the artist! #curacao #willemstad #rightnowincuracao #muralsofcuracao #murals #lego #legophoto #legolife #legophotography #afol #minifigurelife #minifigure #dushilegolife
โ M I N D P O W (D) E R โ at some hot summer days I try to focus on this specific vacation in the Austrian Alps. It was -25ยฐc and after creating this setting and taking some pictures without gloves, I could hardly feel my fingertips anymore. The thought of that cold feeling right up to your bones... it helps a little to cool down! Dushi was (still warm) enjoying the view from the top of this slope and looking forward to the powder ride but I was inpatient....! Let's go and find some hot coco! The world upside down, me being the inpatient one ๐ #tbt #throwbackthursday #alps #austria #snowboarding #wintersport #lego #legolife #legophoto #legophotography #minifigurelife #minifigure #dushilegolife

โ Y O U' V E G O T M A I L โ The real thing, paper envelop in my mailbox... the excitement of not knowing what it is and from who it is ๐ค I really love the surprise of an old-fashioned handwritten letter or postcard. And today was my lucky day! *snapshot with the minifig I carry around for this kind of spontaneous shots* #incomingmail #snailmail #sendmoremail #sendmorecards #sendmoreletters #lego #legolife #afol #minifigurelife #dushilegolife
๐ถ P O S T W O R K S W I M & T O N I C ๐ถ nothing beats a cold drink and and pool-dive at the end of a long summer day at work. My human is slightly jealous she can't paddle and sip like this ๐ #summerday #cooldown #swim&tonic #afol #lego #legophoto #legophotography #legolife #minifigurelife #minifigure #dushilegolife
โข โ I T' S A L L A B O U T I M A G I N A T I O N โ โข today a young boy very seriously assembled this minifigure and bought his own skateboard to the scene. We took pictures, he made some suggestions and then... we actually played with the figure! You'd be amazed to see the stunts this minifig can pull off on the tip-ramp of the little boys board! He told me there is a skate park near by - I might check that place but not to ride a skateboard myself ๐ there are limits to my willingness to play..! #stayyoung #keepplaying #afol #tfol #legolife #lego #legophoto #skateboard #minifigurelife #dushilegolife
โฉ F O L L O W M E โช I know the way to getting lost! Exploring the colorfull area of #pietermaai downtown #willemstad starting with brunch at #scubalodge . At the beginning of the 19th century, all houses were white. An eye doctor wondered why so many people had trouble seeing sharp. He came up with the hypothesis that the reflection of the bright sunlight on the white houses had a blinding effect. He recommended the government to paint every building in a non-blinding color. The government took it a step further: it became law to paint your house in any color but white. Nowadays it ain't law anymore but painting your house in any shade of the colors of the rainbow is tradition. Some even change every couple of years! ๐ #rightnowincuracao #letsgetlost #legophoto #legolife #legophotography #lego #afol #minifigurelife #dushilegolife
๐ถ M A N' S B E ST F R I E N D ๐ถ Kachรณ (dog, in papiamentu) has her own minifigure now! She's not quite sure on how she feels about all this lego-fuz going on around the house lately but she sure wanted to strike a pose ๐ #mansbestfriend #fourleggedfriend #streetdog #rescuedog #legophoto #legolife #lego #afol #minifigurelife #dushilegolife
๐จ๐ผ D I A D I B A N D E R A ๐จ๐ผ yesterday was flag day, dag van de vlag, dia di bandera. On July 2nd, Curaรงao celebrates that on this day 1951 the first 'eilandsraad' (island council) gathered. At that time Curaรงao was a Dutch colony. Now it is an independent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. At dia di bandera the people decorate their car, houses and themselves in the colours of the flag: bright yellow and blue! Just like Dushi in this photo. I'm not content with it, it was taken in a hurry. I rather take it again, get the alignment straight, the setting balanced. I decided to post it anyway, for the sake of the right moment. I'll head back to this place on a blue Monday. With more time. To get it right. For sake of perfection. ๐ #diadibandera #ilovecuracao #dushikorsou #scubalodge #lego #legophoto #legophotography #afol #legolife #minifigurelife #dushilegolife
๐ฆ W E W E R E S O R E A D Y..๐ฆ to ride the 400m water slide in #piscadera this morning! All excitement for days, tickets burning in our pockets and with our doughnut-floatie ready to tackle some high speeds.... swipe to see what happened..! The event got cancelled due to strong wind ๐ฅ we sincerely hope for better conditions next week! In the mean time the floatie has been tested, it won't depend on that! #slidethecitycuraรงao #CSCF2019 #rightnowincuracao #lego #afol #legolife #legophoto #dushilegolife
