Views from the top



Two views from the Rotterdam apartment. You need to do a little bit of work for this.

Stand up and imagine you are looking straight ahead, Good, now swivel your feet so they are pointing a little to the left. That's the night time view.

Now shift your feet more to the left and look down at the still snow covered footpath and notice the bicycle path and the tram track. There are no cyclists as they move at the speed of light on their own 'road' which they share only with scooters. They will mow down pedestrians on crossings if required.

The tall pointy building reminiscent of the Sky Tower in good old Auks in the night one? That's Euromast and no didn't go up it as I was saving myself for the Eiffel Tower.

Great pictures - yet again, I miss snow and cold. What did it feel like to step out into the chilled air? Sounds like the perfect balance between euphoria and exhaustion at the apartment.

Looking forward to more!

Gazing longingly at the snow! At least the shower in our ensuite at La Maison de Varkala is cold (only). Stand by for pix from the At the Top viewing deck on Burj Khalifa (shame, it's only the 124th floor) when we can scrape up the $50 per person to book.
