There is nothing like staying with friends. This is especially true after
Over 100 days on the road!
The ride from Amsterdam to Rotterdam was the thing dreams
are made of, sunshine, bike paths and
flat flat flat countryside.
After more windmills than you can point a stick at we arrived in Rotterdam.
We stayed with friends Michael and Sheetal in their loverly apartment in downtown Rotterdam.
The apartment had the most amazing view of port and surrounds. It was quite a contrast to Amsterdam's old time charm. It seems like if you want to build something different in the Netherlands, Rotterdam is the place to do it.
We got our first taste of a croquette straight from the vending machine (not as bad as it sounds). I was intrigued to discover the best bar in the world De Witte Aap (as voted by lonely planet) was just around the corner. It had Belgium beer on tap and a good music selection. There was even some decent local art on the walls, but best of all was the White ape with red laser eyes.
