We had an enjoyable day just wandering around the old city
and eating some wonderful waffles with fruit and whipped cream for lunch. There were several stores selling Delft
pottery at huge prices. I managed to
find one small piece that I needed to buy.
We went in many shops and poked around.
We ambled around the city up and down the streets just taking in the
local sites.
We found the most amazing cheese shop! They had samples of their cheeses and I am
sure there were at least 40 or more flavours and types. We sampled most of them
if not all. They had goat, sheep and cow
cheeses of various ages and tastes. We
had to buy some to bring home. I was
wishing they had some smaller sizes so we could bring back a few more
flavours. We are allowed to bring home
20 kg –we were certainly well within our limit.
Our backpacks were now heavy with our cheese purchases and it was time
to find our way home. Back on the train…through
Rotterdam Central and home to our home away from home near the Rotterdam Noord
Station.

What a super day! Here - not so much!
My experience with a ‘Skewed John’ involved a small facility in a public campsite with my students. One little fellow who was not very Delft dropped his flashlight down the hole as he was hitching up his pants. Not a huge issue in itself as they are not that expensive but unfortunately it was ON! This meant that none of my female students would use the facility and I had to walk them out to another group campsite that had a flush toilet. I had hoped the flashlight would die but those Energizers do last many hours before they give up and even a small glow from a dying duo was enought to spook the maidens. I was disturbed every two hours or so. Sigh!
'Nuff about what obviously refers back to what appears to be a tilted tower - Gentlemen I give you the Skewed John of Delft!
Now there is a phrase bound to confuse.
Hugs!
