COFFEE TOGETHER.( AND BELOW, ME IN A CUBIC HOUSE.)
Thursday 3rd of July,
Mirjam and Jeroen ( sister and brother-in-law of Ingrid) had emailed me to suggest we meet and they wanted to show me around the city of Rotterdam and Kinderdijk.
I went by train to Rotterdam Blaak, at 9.30 am. I arrived in Rotterdam at 10.18 am. They were there to meet me. I had seen photo of Mirjam and she had seen photos of me so it was easy to recognise me.
When we had met we walked to the cubik homes..( see picture) these homes are of modern architecture and people have bought them. One is a show home. ( see picture)
We had a coffee by the water and enjoyed meeting each other and sharing stuff about our lives and families.( and horses of course).
From there we went into the metro and to an other place and walked over the Erasmus bridge and on the other side was the boat to take us for an trip around the harbour. The boattrip was 1 1/2 long.
After we enjoyed the trip, seeing sthe biggest harbour in the world and the biggest container area in the world, we then went back to the metro to an other area where they had parked the car.
Then we drove to Kinderdijk, where there are lotss and lot of windmills. This is a UNESCO WORLD HERTITAGE SITE.
Photos show the beauty of that place.
