Day 27: Cheese Market, Gouda

Today I had a unprecedented four cities tour in the Netherlands: Gouda, Den Haag, Delft, Utrecht. Including Rotterdam where I stayed, I was in 5 different cities, amazing... Yes, you know this was crazy and super tired, but I proved: the Netherlands is so small XDDDD

First, I rushed to Gouda for her cheese market on this Thursday morning. It mainly helf in front of the town hall. Although obviously the cheese market is to attract tourists, but it was lovely coz all these "actors" wear traditional costumes and to imitate how real cheese trade is in 17th century.

And then I went straight to The Hague (Den Haag), the political center of Holland. The real attractions of city was not many (well, I just so ignoring to see Chinatown there even I know there are many Chinese living in the Netherlands =.=

My next station is Delft. a town not far neither Den Haag or Rotterdam. She is famous of her blue pottery. It would be a idea to sit in little cafe next to the canal and spend an afternoon :D. There are also many traditional Dutch fish shop in Delft, I've tried their raw fried fish which is SUPER delicious =P

I was thinking went back to Rotterdam to get some rest. But when arrived the centraal station I went on a train to Utrecht directly.XDDD She is fourth largest city of the Lower Land Country. Herethe most special thing is building are in ultra-low level (the canal is lower than the road next to the wharf, lovely!! :D
