This week, world\u2019s largest inflatable park got introduced in Akkrum, a city in the Dutch province Friesland.

The inflatable \u2018cushion\u2019 weighs 800 kilograms and takes four hours to blow up. Last week, a 272 meters long inflatable park got installed in Ghent.

A gin tonic train came to London<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n

Thursday, the 11th<\/sup> of May, in partnership with Tanqueray No. Ten Gin, Belmond launched what they\u2019re calling \u2018The Dinner\u2019 event, a magical vintage train filled with all kinds of gin-related delights. The train began at London Victoria station, where you got greeted with a Gin & Tonic, and then took you on a round trip journey through the countryside. While you were sitting, relaxing, and \u2018riding\u2019 through the hills, guests experienced great food and drinks. During the event they will served an onboard seven courses meal designed to complement Tanqueray No. Ten gin. After the guests were done eating, you got to do a masterclass on creating martinis, followed by a talk about the heritage of gin. At the end of the journey, all guests were given a mysterious present as a souvenir. You \u2018only\u2019 had to pay \u00a3450 for a ticket.<\/p>\n

Soon a croquettes restaurant will open in Amsterdam: \u2018Wilde Kroketten\u2019. Currently, \u2018Wilde Kroketten\u2019, a croquets company\u00a0 operated by father Ad and son Steven Poppelaars is already doing great for a couple of years.

The restaurant that will be located at the Danzigerkade 27 in Amsterdam, will be opened at the beginning of June. They will serve about 20 kinds of croquettes: “From shrimp croquettes, to crabmeat croquettes, meat croquettes and also a lot of vegetarian croquettes,” said Ad Poppelaars. The restaurant will be divided into two separate areas and will consist out of a lunch area (on the ground floor), and a restaurant on the second floor where five-course dinners are served. As the summer months are about to arrive, their terrace is the perfect spot to enjoy the croquettes with a nice drink.<\/p>\n
