A citytrip? Not too far away? Try Rotterdam.  Vivid and colourful.<br \/>20 years, that is how long it has been when I was in Rotterdam.  And i must admit I was positively surprised. The city had a successful transformation during that period of absence.  Like Antwerp, Rotterdam is a harbour city, the largest of Europe.  Unlike Antwerp the city has canals and lots of green to offer.  Architecture is modern and even eccentric.  Big chunks of R-dam city centre have been rebuild after WWII. On May 14, 1940 most of it was destroyed due to bombing by the Luftwaffe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\"

renovation, the Arminius church grabbed our attention. An open door and a wink from a host is always a great invitation. <br \/>Construction started in 1895 and 2 years later the church was consecrated in 1897. Just recently the church was sold to the university because the maintenance\/repair cost went sky-high.  In the 19th century, the area where the church is build was actually polder land and therefore swampy. As a result, the entire foundation was damaged. <br \/>Currently it is used a congress room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"http:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5752-1920x1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5752.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5752-305x203.jpg 305w, https:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5752-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption>Arminius church<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#515c60\" class=\"has-text-color\">A bit further on you have the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chabotmuseum.nl\" target=\"_blank\">Chabot museum<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.huissonneveld.nl\" target=\"_blank\">House Sonnefeld<\/a>.

Everything is kept the same as in 1933. The owner was Albertus Sonnefeld, one of the former directors of the Van Nelle factory. <br \/>Chabot has a small collection and is an ode to sculptor and painter Henk Chabot, a leading Dutch expressionist artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"http:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5756-1920x1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5756.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5756-305x203.jpg 305w, https:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5756-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption>Chabot museum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"http:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5775-1920x1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"6416\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5775.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/nopictures.be\/?attachment_id=6416\" class=\"wp-image-6416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5775.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5775-305x203.jpg 305w, https:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5775-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"http:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5772-1920x1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"6417\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5772.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/nopictures.be\/?attachment_id=6417\" class=\"wp-image-6417\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5772.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5772-305x203.jpg 305w, https:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5772-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"http:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5776-1920x1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"6415\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5776.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/nopictures.be\/?attachment_id=6415\" class=\"wp-image-6415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5776.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5776-305x203.jpg 305w, https:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5776-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"http:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5779-1920x1280.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"6399\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5779.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/nopictures.be\/?attachment_id=6399\" class=\"wp-image-6399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5779.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5779-305x203.jpg 305w, https:\/\/nopictures.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5779-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">House Sonnefeld<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#515c60\" class=\"has-text-color\">What makes the city interesting is the water.
