Somewhere in Rotterdam

This weekend is yet another of those extended weekends - tomorrow is a public holiday. It is a day after Pinkesteren (today) which is a Christian religious holiday that falls on the seventh Sunday after Easter. In a way there is some similarity in our culture where we also have all sort of 'penutop' events for big festivities. After this the next public holiday is half a year away - Christmas!

Pinkesteren day, also called Whitsunday, is celeberated in most Europe countries. Almost everything is closed on Sunday and Monday. So yesterday was the chance for everybody to go out and do any shopping that is required. We went to Rotterdam in a place called Alexandrium. We have never been here except for the kids. The place is quite large. Most importantly the parking is quite cheap and very convenient, literally one could park next to the big stores - reminiscene of back home.
