Day 124: CS Bike Tour in Rotterdam

On saturday I went on a bike tour organized by some local CS'ers. We went over to Delfshaven, through the Maastunnel to Rotterdam Zuid, and then back across the Willemsbrug into the centre of Rotterdam. Here are some pictures. A prison!!!

It was a fun trip. I got to see some of the city I hadn't seen before, and also hear some interesting stories I had never heard before.

Day 123: Sustainable fashion show

Yeah, so I went to this fashion show all about sustainability. Using recycled materials to make new clothes. It was interesting... Though I always wonder why people in fashion shows always seem to wear clothes that no one would ever wear...

Day 121: Schiedam

Wednesday was such a beautiful day, I decided to go for a bike ride to Schiedam. Schiedam is an old town just to the west of Rotterdam, and is pretty much a suburb of the city now. The town is mostly known for its windmills and distilleries. The town used to be surrounded by 19 giant mills used for grinding grain for the distilleries, but now only five(among the tallest in Europe) remain. There are also only five distilleries remaining out of once was over 400. The distilleries make Genever which uses juniper berries to get its particular flavour. The town was very nice and had some beautiful canals:
Here are two of the windmills, with the genever warehouses across the canal.

I can't remember what this was... Maybe the city hall, or another church.
