Book Fair in Ahoy

Today we went to Ahoy, an event centre in Rotterdam currently holding a book fair. We have never been to Ahoy before and only knew about the book fair from my office colleague.

Ahoy is a big complex, where concerts and various exibitions are regularly held through the year. The book fair has been going on for three days where up to a millions books were on sale at incredibly cheap prices.

We saw everybody were with their trolleys, filling them up as they troll along. With all those books on display it's difficult not to be tempted. It's definitely quite a sight to see the large crowd amidst the thousands of books laid across the large hall. Also to see these people really enjoying themselves browsing through endless rows of books to eventually filling up their trolleys.

In the end we also ended up spending a good couple of hours before heading home. The long lines at the cashiers tell their own story - it must have been a very good business for the organiser.
