The Trip that was: October 12, 2016/2017

2016

Back in Amsterdam and back on the water! A canal cruise with friends Lucien and Marijke! What I remember most?? It was SOOOOO COLD!!!! 

The Blue Bridge

A'dam Lookout and the Eye Film Museum.

Centraal Station, Amsterdam. 

Mint Tower.

Lucien is one of  Dutchboy's oldest friends.  So I get to claim him as one of mine, too! 

That's why I hope he won't mind me appropriating the video he made. :-) 

2017

Gouda.  Better weather this trip. And more photos! And...the missing video I mentioned earlier has been found.  It was just a different trip, on a later date! 

The Stadhuis (City Hall) of Gouda.  The oldest Gothic stadhuis in the Netherlands, and certainly the most impressive!

Every half hour, the clock chimes and this tableau shows the granting of city rights to Gouda. 

Remember that adorable tearoom from a few posts ago?? Welcome back! And if you don't remember, this is the expanded tour of the Museumcafe Gouda!

de Waag, Gouda. The weigh house.
