day 28 ... a friends-day

Ahhhhh, how I looked forward to this day

and yes, what I feared that could go "wromg" 

........

but what a wonderful day we had

with my blogging-friend Natima and her husband Tom !!!

It was a lot of  sunshine  on a rather gray and cloudy day.

Thanks my dear friends for being such lovely special guests.

We picked them up on Rotterdam Central Station

took the Metro and had some coffee/tea

before we were off

to the windmills in Kinderdijk,

had lunch at our home,

then took the Fast Ferry back to Rotterdam again

and walked around the city

and ended it all in the "Markthal"

this amazing Rotterdam variation on the "Sistine Chapel"

(yes, I know : people in R'dam think BIG !)

They went back by train to Amsterdam

and we went on the boat home.

Boy oh boy, what a marvellous day !

We'll cherish the memory of it !

(Oh yes, then I still had to stitch a bit on my jewel)
