Fun list! A few are even on my own list 🙂
Great list Wilbur! This is inspiring! 🙂
My first ever train trip abroad went past Rotterdam (Hoek to Amsterdam), though I have never been there. Is Rotterdam nice?
🙂 I might be biased since I live and really like Rotterdam 😀 😀 Yes, Rotterdam is a nice city and a different city compare to Amsterdam. I have written several posts about Rotterdam in my blog if you wish to visit Rotterdam someday 🙂
Summer is usually quite busy in Rotterdam – many festivals and street parties..
