sadly we're leaving brussels today and i really don't want to we have got one
overnight stay in Rotterdam so one night to see everything there is but first we gotta get there
new country we've just taken the two hour bus from Brussels to Rotterdam it is now 12
30 and our bus leaving Rotterdam leaves at 7
30 tomorrow morning giving us exactly 19 hours to explore the city time starts now
step one get to our hotel
right the first time
the plan is to see as much of Rotterdam as possible in the 18 hours we probably have
left it looks like such a fun city though everyone's out riding their
bikes there's all different like outdoor shops and stuff looking to go back outside
we've also just found this at the hostel so we're just gonna follow this and hope that it's good
we did want to just dump our stuff and then head out and explore Rotterdam but we can't check in
for another half an hour so we're just gonna grab a quick beer and then we should be good to go
broost boost frost, cheers
i love Rotterdam it's such a cool vibe very like trendy and hip i feel like i don't forget
because i'm not cool apparently this building over here was the first skyscraper in Europe
it's not very tall
we've just been told we have five beds in our room i think they stuffed something up but
which bed are you gonna choose bed one i think you have to stay up here
Bed two
Bed four
five all right i think we're down to like 15 hours we haven't seen anything stuff has been
dumped off at the hostel i've changed into jeans and we are good to go first stop market hall
it smells amazing here so we've come to market hall which is like the number one thing
recommended to do in Rotterdam it's this massive hole that's full of all different stores of food
and drinks i'm pretty sure there's also people that live in here somehow and offices and stuff
so i think we're gonna get something to eat
first stop of the day market hall and some frits. i actually don't know what they're called in
Netherlands they're frits back in Belgium feel like you can't go wrong with fried potatoes mayo
and ketchup so we don't have too much time here in general but we've also just googled it and it
looks like it's gonna rain in about an hour and a half so we don't have much time at all we'll see
what we can see i love the idea of serving fries in a cone like this mainly because it means i
can eat potatoes on the go really easily out of ten maybe like a six i feel like that's just an
automatic rating because it's potatoes the ones in Belgium were way better than this
we've decided to check out one of the more controversial
statues in the city it's an interesting one
so we've made it to our next stop of the day and gnome
a gnome statue
i'm too childish for this
we have done the cube houses as well
art
apparently we've made it to our next place Weicz
street which is just like a street with heaps of bars and restaurants and cool outdoor seating
seems like it would be the place to be at night time but i don't think we're gonna be
here for that i don't think the weather will let us be here for that yeah true
made it to what i think is our fifth stop the harbour museum i didn't think we'd
get to come here because i thought it was gonna be shut but they have this massive
outdoor area so we're just walking around
we are getting rained on but Erasmus bridge check
we are loving Rotterdam it's such a fun city to just walk around everyone's just doing
whatever they want to i think we've seen pretty much all of the sites that were on the list
in our allotted time it's such a cool city of like the old real Dutch looking buildings and
then ultra modern glass weird architecture and then there's all these statues everywhere that
i don't understand because it's confusing but i think it's time for another beer what do you think
i think we need a shelter from the rain and a beer is a good idea
one of the attractions the list to come and see is actually where we're staying
how cool are these cube houses where in one of the cubes
come back to where we started the day to finish today with another beer
