"I would like to buy some cheese"
This dedicated cheese shop had more cheeses than even the Coles deli!!
We sampled some and ended up with nutty goat's cheese and a smokey, smooth, year-old unpasteurised cow's milk cheese. Now, that's a mouthful!
Real clogs. Say no more!
The river Waal. We did the scenic river walk and ended up in a cafe overlooking the barges plying the river to and from Germany. The water level is currently very low, possibly 5 metres below normal, due to an unusually dry summer here. There is the river, then the wharf/walkway, then road and cafes etc, then flood walls before the houses and apartments. The gates and steps can be sealed when needed.
Couldn't go the tourist walk without a visit to the bicycle museum. It was very interesting, and makes you appreciate the ingenuity of those early design pioneers. They certainly pushed the boundaries with some of the designs!
This, of course, is a penny farthing. How they managed to mount and then control these contraptions really does defy logic.
Seen today: "The Walk of Waste" - a series of novelty rubbish bins along the river walkway which artisits have decorated, trucks squeezing through the narrow backstreets, girls sitting in windows, dinner in a traditional Dutch restuarant.
