On a second trip to Rotterdam in August last year, here is what I got up to with Chris – in photos. I hope you enjoyed our shenanigans 🙂
Local Shopping in Rotterdam

Art & Sculptures in Rotterdam
My first impression of Rotterdam was that it was a dreary, industrial city with not a lot to see and nowhere near as pretty as Amsterdam. Having been there a second time, I have since changed my mind and it’s growing on me, but when I went to visit Chris in March last year, I …
