Museum Boerhaave

Three museums looked interesting in Leidan, but alas, time was against us. We walked through the town, past the windmills and the Morspoort to the main drag, which was far more city-like than the calmness of Delft. As it was nearby, we popped into the Rijksmuseum Boerhaave. This science museum had fabulous astronomical and medicinal displays, although some of the latter makes you really grateful for modern medicine. Walking on to the Burcht van Leidan gave beautiful views over the city, before meandering back along the canals to the station to go back to Rotterdam.

Sailaway from Rotterdam was fascinating as we traversed the narrow river through the massive industrial port. Having a balcony definitely allowed interesting views as we passed by into the North Sea.Meer informatie
