The annual summer closure of Ciel Bleu is coming up. We left to Asia for twelve-day trip. We are going to cook in Hotel Okura Tokyo in Japan. During the Ciel Bleu Fair the guests of Hotel Okura Tokyo get the opportunity to familiarize with Amsterdam’s Ciel Bleu. After that, we will go to Hotel Okura Shanghai for another culinary event of five days.

After a delightful breakfast we went to our next visit to the ‘’Rietvallei.’’ This is one of the largest family companies in South Africa. The owners of the ‘’Rietvallei,’’ the Burger family, owns the company for six generations. This is the third oldest company in the district.

Soon you will be able to enjoy an unique festival in Amsterdam, the Alliance Summer Tasting, during this event delicious dishes and wines will be served. On this festival 34 restaurants are participating from the Netherlands and Belgium, this is including Ciel Bleu.

Hermanuspieterfontein & Holland – Slovakia
On the 285th of June we went to the Hermanuspieterfontein. On our way from the gamelodge, The Leopard Rock Reserve, we stopped at the hills of the Walkerbaai. This area is known for its whales and therefore a touristic attraction.
