Quiet AM after yesterday's long day/late night. Then we drove to what we thought was Rotterdam park & ride but was actually a car park in Rotterdam itself. Thankfully it was well-priced!
Genuine Sign
Walked through station, a little lost; thankfully there was a helpful woman on a reception desk!
Mainly just spent day wandering/meandering. Being there made me understand the Beautiful South lyrics 'this could be Rotterdam or anywhere/Liverpool or Rome'- it doesn't feel Dutch at all; it's just another modern city! Apparently that's because it was rebuilt post-WWII bombings, so there's no 'traditional architecture'. I didn't really like it.
Stickers!
Bikes ^.^
Good aspects though- a 'Chinatown' shop, where I got some tea, and a shop similar to the Range where R and I both for curtain things for our bedrooms back in Bris! Mum agreed I can partially redo my room, and that she'll pay for the paint. Yay! :)
Home to sockses. Quiet evening.
