Day 23 in Europe (Rotterdam)

I didn't actually do much in these two days because firstly I was really exhausted from the lack of sleep in Berlin and from the eight hour train trip, and secondly there really isn't that much to do in Rotterdam. I'm very grateful for my mate taking a couple of days off work so I could go check out some cool stuff around the place.

The Netherlands turned out a very fine day on Tuesday and the option was there to go check out Dutch beaches.  while I was in Rotterdam so we decided to drive to Scheveningen, a town next to the sea.

Australian beaches are world famous, but the beach near Scheveningen I found to be just as nice as Sydney's. The flat landscape of the Netherlands offers a beach that seems endless, and as an added bonus the Kurhuis offers a wonderful backdrop to the whole setting. There's even a bungee tower for those who find sunbathing too boring!

We spent a lazy three hours sitting at a café next to the beach, enjoying some Dutch pancakes and a beautiful summer afternoon. Choice!
