Delfshaven, Rotterdam

The fog that rolled in over breakfast was incredible, transforming the clear Rotterdam skyline into nothing! So we decided on a more leisurely day today, and trammed across Rotterdam to historic suburb of Delfshaven. Looking more like canal houses of the Netherlands than we were used to for Rotterdam, it was a beautiful place to visit, complete with iconic windmills. Apparently it was the place the Speedwell left from with the Puritans headed for America, but the ship only made it as far as Cornwall, whilst the Mayflower carried on. The Pelgrims Brewery there has tasty beers named after this event too.Læs mere
