We met with one of my old companions, Lesley Wieling, and his wife Margreet and their cute little baby girl. They live in a subrurb of Rotterdam. The evening was nice and sunny, but we didn't take a group photo until the drizzle had come in!
Our first night was to stay in one of the famous cube houses by Piet Blom. A youth hostel is in part of the complex and we stayed there. It gave a sense of adventure as we bedded down in this unusual building, with views to a marina with old ships out one window from the bed, and city views, with other peculiar buildings out the other side.
In the morning we explored Rotterdam. I loved all the architecture! The singingbicycle were an entertaining aside. The girls and I had fun playing 'What's the time Mr Wolf?' outside Sint Laurenskerk, which a pigeon decided to join in on. One particularly impressive building is the new Market Hall, the walls of which are made up by apartments, and the stalls comprise a colourful array of foods. Of course the girls and I wanted ice cream.
