Delft again!

This weekend I been back to Delft and Rotterdam! The above is the Town Hall in front of Markt.

Yeap! Delft is really a marvelous place! And so happend this last Saturday, it was the Open Monuments Day! Almost every churches, muziums, monuments. The following is from online website:
"

Open Monuments Day with Religious Heritage as its central theme
The Open Monumentendagen take place in the weekend of 10 and 11 September, during which monuments throughout the entire country will be open to visitors and special activities will take place. This year’s main theme is religious heritage. In addition to churches and chapels, these include almshouses, monasteries and convents,mosques, synagogues, and Buddhist temples. Take in a bicycle route by the Dordrecht cemeteries, a themed boat trip through the Delft canals, follow a pilgrim’s route through Gouda and Schiedam, or view the Hague almshouses.

"

Unfortunately, I knew it too late! I only knew about this marvelous day on the day itself! And on Saturday, it was raining in Delft when I was there! So, I only got to visit couple of places before the closing time!
