Another sleepless night, my watch told me my sleep score was 53 last night. Needless to say, I did not get out of bed until almost 9am.
No gym today. 😊 I thought we were going to hike up the Dom Tower but… that did not happen. We did tour through the Dom Kerk and its courtyard. It was beautiful. So crazy to think how long this has been standing.
On the way over we spotted these bikes that were just pulled out of the canal!
Apparently, they pull out about 3000 bikes from the canals in Utrecht every year. What are you doing, people lol 😂
Coming up on the Dom Tower made me audibly gasp. It’s enormous, intricate and I was in awe.
We spent about an hour in the church part. Heads up, if you have to use the restroom, it costs .70 euro so make sure you bring some coins 😅
The cost to get in to the church is a donation n a denomination of your choice.
Back outside, we took a left to check out the courtyard. Pretty sweet architecture here too.
With that we were done. I was ready but not ready to tackle the tower and all 465 steps however my traveling partners do not seem too into. So we walked back to the apartment where we brainstormed dinner ideas.
At 4pm. Like true US residents in their 50’s. 😂
We were the only ones in the restaurant, we walked in and they were cleaning. Specifically, mopping the floors. A black cat with white spots ran past us while I asked if they could seat the four of us for dinner.
He looked confused and then asked someone if it was ok. We must have passed the test because we were seated .
The… best… food I have had this trip.
The cuisine is Balkan and i am a new fan.
What I love about dining in Holland (I think it also true for other EU countries) is that they seat you, take your order, feed you, then leave you along until you ask for the check.
That said, we stayed a while to let our food settle, then you walked back to the apartment. We all just chilled for a while and then Shannon and Brian went out to a bar, Jason and I hung back not really feeling the bar scene.
I am looking forward to an early night of sleep!
