Gouda

Claude and Sheila joined a guided tour through Gouda.
Their guide told them, that during the summer of 1438, a devastating fire reduced the then town of Gouda virtually to ashes.

The town hall suffered heavy damage. The town council decided that the new town hall should be freestanding. It chose a new location on the market field, which was little more than a sodden peat bog at the time. If the doors are open, in the old Town Hall you can visit the splendid wedding room, the mayor’s office and council chamber.
On the right facing wall you can see the carillon with mechanical puppets, which were added in 1961. The leading figure in the carillon is Floris V, who granted Gouda its town charter in 1272. Every two minutes of each half hour, the carillon will provide a lovely spectacle, as the puppets begin to move.

She told Claude and Sheila much more interesting facts about Gouda. Have a look here, if you want to know more :-)

Gouda is also famous for its cheese. (Tussock would love it here :-))  So I had to blip some cheese as well (first extra)
We also made our traditional shopping for dutch stuff, which we can't buy in Germany. On this occasion we pampered us with a traditional pastry called Tompouce. If you have ever lived with tiny people, you probably know, that they tend to explore everything. We found Claude and Sheila onto the pastry. They were of the same opinion, that the Tompouce are delicious, but difficult to eat :-)

Reminder for the Tiny People Challenge TiPS.
Have a look here for the entries in April so far to get an idea.
The tag for April is TiPS32. For May the tag will be TiPS33.
You can make as many entries as you like. I'm looking forward to many creative entries of the adventures of all sorts of tiny figures. Have fun!
