Good day once again to all who have visited our class blogs as well reading our crafts. Couldn't be much more grateful than am now. Moving on, would like to share on my trip to another place that I have travelled to when carrying out my intern at European waters.
Fortunate enough to have had the chance to visit Rotterdam, the second largest city in the Netherlands. Rotterdam lies on both banks of the Nieuwe Maas, the tidal southern arm of the Rhine, where it's joined by the little River Rotte. Beholds the world's largest port, home to the massive Europoort facility through which so much freight passes on its way to and from the continent. On a personal note, transiting the river en route itself is one kind of hectic yet worth it experience.
That being said, let me humbly show the places or spots I would describe as the "must visit tag" if visiting Rotterdam. First and foremost is the Euromast tower, an observation deck providing a panoramic view of Rotterdam Cityscape. Certainly an eye catching experience especially for those sight-seeing lovers!

A perfect way to see the sprawling expanse of
Rotterdam and its ports and the entrance fee is quite modest for both adults
and children. If you are looking for a little adrenaline action you can even
zip-line or abseil from the tower!

Next up, is one of the best commute available having the appearance of a combination of jet-ski and ferry but is much larger and very much one of a kind, namely Spido. It sails the whole year round from the foot of the Erasmus Bridge, offering day tours and theme cruises on the water. The tour lasting up to 75 minutes gives passengers a short but strong and lasting impression of Rotterdam’s container ports. The route also passes sights like the Hotel New York, the Euromast, and the SS Rotterdam.
 |
Spido frequently runs theme cruises such as the Bridge
Tour or Valentine Dinner Cruise. A perfect getaway for any couples looking for a romantic spot!

This feat of modern engineering creates an impressive
backdrop to the port of Rotterdam and is a fine construction to admire and walk
across.

Rotterdam is a city that is full of modern and unique
architecture and the Central Station is one such building. Paying homage to modern architecture, it has a
triangular shape that points towards the sky at a protruding angle.
 |
| Hoping Malaysian to have a station similar in stature to this one in the near future. |
Great St. Lawrence Church also known as Grote of Sint-Laurenskerk. This church in particular is all that's left of Rotterdam's medieval buildings, most of which were destroyed during WWII. Upon entering the church, you'll be amazed by the absolute beauty of the bright interior, an effect heightened by the colored glass of its windows. The church is famous for its three Danish organs, the largest of which stands on a marble base on the inside wall of the tower.
 |
The interior of the church is quite beautiful with many
decorated arches, high vaulted ceilings and a variety of stone reliefs and rich
religious decoration.
