I did two full circuits of the route – one on each side before arriving back at the Centraal station and stopping off for some lunch.
After lunch I headed down to the Maritime Museum to have a look around both the museum and it’s harbour of historic ships, cranes and other vessels moored in the harbour immediately behind the museum.
It’s an interesting collection with lots to see and I spent quite a bit of time looking round everything.
From the museum I headed back towards the hotel to have a look around the Laurenskerk the last remaining building from Medieval Rotterdam, but sadly the church was closed for the afternoon so instead I popped across to the nearby and considerably more modern Markthal which is a stunning structure.
Leaving the Markthal I was just in time to pick up the hop-on-hop-off bus for the last stops of it’s penultimate tour of the evening, staying on for the last tour. I was very glad I got a good seat as I was treated to some stunning sunset views of the city as the bus crossed some of the bridges of the city.
Back in the centre of town I found a restaurant and had another very nice dinner before heading back to the hotel.
