Today, being wet (to be expected at times in Holland, being so green), our sightseeing was restricted to the Roman remains dating back to 17AD. It's certainly an experience wandering around between levels of history and wondering at the stories the walls could tell.
After seeing the size of these tusks the thought of hunting these animals with flint headed spears seems inconceivable. This skeleton was found in a lake close by Nijmegen. This room housed fossils, bones and other mammoth tusks.
The rain kept most people indoors at the centre, but after a very interesting visit, it was time for hot chocolate and poffertjes - small fluffy pancakes made on buttermilk- while we watched the rain and everyone else wandering around in it. Mmmm... perhaps this is not something we should do too often as our clothes won't fit by the time we get home.
