Over the past week I've been in Kampen, Rotterdam, Delft, Gouda, Hardenberg, Zwartsluis and Geithoorn. Here are some of the pictures
The Tower of Babel - absolutely stunning when you see it in real life!
One of Monet's pieces featuring poppies :)
The Euromast tower in Rotterdam, reaching 185 m. Gives a perfect view of the city!
It needs cleaning of course! With what? you may ask...A KARCHER!
When you are in a tower and there is a restaurant, the best thing to do is soak up the view with a glass of red wine, don't you think?
And some great company!
We still have a bigger one!
The view as we travelled higher
another section of the city
and me, at the highest level visitors are allowed to go to - that is outside
showing the distance to other towers around the world... am quite close to Paris!! It's about the same distance from Perth to Albany :) Should get in the car.....
Beautiful Delft
the Vermeer museum in Delft - do you recognise this Oma?!
seeing Delft blue being painted
and Gouda... famous for... Cheese! Mum & Dad - notice the HUGE knee brace under my jeans? I'm being a very good girl and am wearing it every day :)
just a small sample of the massive amounts of cheese that Gouda has to offer
the beautiful stained glass windows in St Johns Church in Gouda, so hard to photograph unfortunately
Looks like a fun week :) love all your pics :)
