Rotterdam; Tuesday, 27 October, 2015

Following a late breakfast and checkout from the hotel I headed out over towards the river to take in the views of the city from the opposite bank.

I caught a bus over to the South bank and had a bit of a wander round, taking in the views of the SS Rotterdam moored up on the opposite side of the harbour, before heading back across the river using the Masstunnel pedestrian tunnel under the river.

Back on the other side I had a long wander around the park land at the base of the EuroMast before heading up the tower to the restaurant for a late lunch with some stunning views over the city.

I headed back down into town and picked up a tram to head over to the opposite side of the Erasmus Bridge with the intention of walking back over the bridge to take in the views before having a final wander around the harbour area, but at the stop before the bridge the tram filled to such an extent that it was impossible to get out for the next couple of stops, so I had to go sailing past the stop I wanted, and a couple more, before heading back.

By the time I got back to the Erasmus Bridge I realised I needed to stay on the tram and get back to the hotel to collect my luggage and head for the airport.

Having picked up my luggage I managed to make to the station with just enough time to spare before the train back to Schiphol and my flight back home.
