Yes, sure...here it is on bol.com
It has just become available, for 31 euros!

http://www.bol.com/nl/p/spel-carcassonne-mini-uitbreiding-kloosters-bordspel/9200000027680037/

WTF!?
€31 but they sell the base game for €25 which means you pay €6 for the mini-expansion and they dare to put "GRATIS" (FREE) on the box. Am I missing something or is it really not so honest?

I agree. It just says The Cloisters, which is the catch all name of the new geographic expansions series. I would not be surprised to find that this is a new set of Cloisters.

And for what it's worth, I think it is the Monasteries in Germany. If this were a brand new set of Dutch cloisters, that would be a pretty exciting development for the Dutch market and I think they would heavily promote the Dutch aspect of the cloisters on the front of the box.

Would have to agree there.

There are some monasteries in the south of the Netherlands (Brabant and Limburg provinces) but none, as far as I know in the north (mostly protestant) so I don't think we will ever see an official Dutch Monasteries mini-expansion... Better forget about this idea.

Well, I guess "told you so" is in order.

I never trust that terminology until I see it. It could just mean completely new to the public, which The Monasteries would be, brief preview release not withstanding.

I was thinking the same.. when a new mini comes out we most of the time hear it long time before it comes out, so..

Again - I hope you are right and that I am wrong.
