11 - 15 September
Rotterdam – a very modern, lively city with a lot of sculptures, but there are older parts, especially by the old harbours. We wandered around the very extensive market (buying food). Anne visited the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen (marvellous art and very well laid out), Jim took a tour around the city on the Museum tram (excellent).
We took a train to Delft for a day as it would have taken us a day there plus a day back by boat. Fascinating town with many very old buildings and well worth a visit.
Again we had a day out to Den Haag (The Hague) by train. A great shock on walking out of central station as all the buildings are very modern and high rise, but the centre of the city is much more historic. Visited Panorama Mesdag – a painting collection including an amazing panoramic full circle painting from late 1800's of coast near Scheveningen, viewed from a central platform built on top of an artificial dyke.
