Netherlands: Rotterdam Stroll in Pictures
This entry is a picture essay (lots!) of our stroll last summer (2016) in Rotterdam. Summer in the Netherlands is a hit and miss situation. It is mostly a miss, which means we rarely have very hot days and if they do come, they drop by sporadically, making us wonder if they really did come!?
