... and in Bruges


On the last day, I got off a bit earlier. Right after work, I hit the road all the way to Belgium, Bruges. I met a colleague who was working in another project at the same time, just a few hundred kilometres away.


And Bruges is always worth a visit. Doesn't matter how much time you have. It's like thrown back in time.
We had dinner, in one of those thousand restaurants, cozy and in a way special, and walked through the streets. And got some Belgium Chocolate.

Back in Maasvlakte ...


Once again, back in the Netherlands, back in Brielle and Maasvlakte. Just a few days, but quite busy ones. The work schedule is overloaded, as usual. Not much free time to be expected, and on top, too lazy to do much in the evenings then. Furthermore, I stayed in Bastion Hotel, which was renovated lately, they said. Maybe not the rooms, they are relatively small and a bit shabby.


Luckily there was some time in the evening where I could do other things. One more visit to Hellevoutsluis was on the list, with a seaside dinner. And on the way home, I stopped by at Kinderdijk, where a system of 19 windmills was used to drain the polder (largest concentration of old windwills of Holland).
