hello I am in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands. This place Im staying is so big! There are many big buildings, a river and many bridges.
This is me at Erasmusbridge, they call it the "swan".
Pretty hey? The tram goes over this bridge. From south to north, and the otherway also.
The view over the skyline and the "noordereiland" Northisland.
Rotterdam is never finished! Everywhere you look you'll see cranes at construction sites.
This is a view towards south Rotterdam. In the back you see the Hef, the old train bridge. Its now a monument and may never be removed from its place.
Rotterdam is divided into a northern and a southern part by the river Nieuwe Maas, connected by (from west to east): the Beneluxtunnel; the Maastunnel; the Erasmusbrug ('Erasmus Bridge'); a subway tunnel; the Willemsspoortunnel ('Willems railway tunnel'); the Willemsbrug ('Willems Bridge'); the Koninginnebrug ('Queen's Bridge'); and the Van Brienenoordbrug ('Van Brienenoord Bridge').
The former railway lift bridge De Hef ('the Lift') is preserved as a monument in lifted position between the Noordereiland ('North Island') and the south of Rotterdam.
