Mariel Rodriguez and Robin Padilla in the Netherlands

On a trip back to one of her favorite places in Europe, It's Showtime host Mariel Rodriguez flew to the Netherlands with husband Robin Padilla to enjoy more than a week of relaxed traveling around the country's scenic but less touristy spots. The couple is expecting their first child early next year.

i always research where to eat because i take eating seriously. you know it really helps. i get to eat quality food i mean hey I'm only here once might as well enjoy it. grateful that there are so many blog sites that really help me decide which restaurants are best to try. so today at Haarlem i tried Ratatouille and it did not disappoint. eat. pray. love will always be my travel mantra ??

thank you Haarlem!!! we had a great day. though we couldn't explore you to the fullest the little part that we saw surely confirmed that Amsterdam should not be the only place to visit at the Netherlands ??
