Rotterdam, The Netherlands - 8th August 2011

By: Toolakha

After we did some necessary shoppings for Munen and Toolakha we continued our trip to some extra ordinary buildings in Rotterdam.
We got the chance to see the Cube houses from the outside. Toolakha and Munen told me there is also a hotel who rents out rooms in the cubic houses. That should be a treat to spend the night in such a special location.

The other interesting buildings were the Library, with the yellow tubes. Or the apartment building they call the Pencil...hard to understand why. The "ufo" looking thing is the entrance of subway station The Blaak.
From the Blaak we also had a good look on the Sint-Laurenskerk. They are busy restoring this church.

We then walked towards het Witte Huis which we have been able to see from the Erasmusbridge. But close by it looked a lot more impressive. And after this we went back home. We had an interesting day and I was happy to see some of Rotterdam's highlights.
