We drove through Rotterdam and saw the sites there.......
We went to a shoemaking village. Doesn't John look cute in these clogs...
This is your typical English breakfast...bacon, sausage, beans and bread. The
pancakes were good and yummy...kinda yeasty tasting...
We visited a Delft pottery shop...there are only two businesses that make this pottery in the world today. And there is this special signature thingy on the bottom of the originals...don't be fooled guys by the imitations. Yes, this pottery is beautiful...and no, I didn't get the vase that I'm holding $$$$$$. I got a tiny one that could hold one stem to be placed in my bedroom for fond memories of Holland.
There were so many shops in this village (Delft). There was a huge town square and Xmas tree that was breathtaking...
This shot is from the same little village square.
And this blue heart is the end of the town square.
This place was so exciting and fabulous. This is the northern rersort town called Scheveningen. That tall tower looking thingy is where you bungy jump. John wants to come back here. On January 1, people run into the north sea...some type of ritual...there are shops galore...really nice. Can't wait...maybe next time we can come in the spring when all of the flowers and tulips are in bloom.
This is the coolest place. John fell in love with Madurodam. This is the reason he wants to come back here and play in this miniature town with real trains that run through the place...it was too much for him...he says he has to come back. Okay...April 2009???
These windmills are in the town of Zaanse Schans. We toured a windmill, talked to people who told us the history of this area. Fascinating...you know 40% of the land has been reclaimed from the sea with these windmills. Now, actually I think they use electric pumps. This place is preserved for tourists.
Okay, we went to a cheese place and gots lots a cheese...my favorite is the smoked cheese with this honey mustard stuff. Yummo.
We really, really enjoyed this trip. I hope to come back in the spring. I know it would be absolutely beautiful.
