Wadlopen

On the weekend of 9th and 10th August, I went with ING (nope, not the bank, but rather International Neighbour Group) to the very north of The Netherlands. We drove for 2 hours in a minibus, to a place called Groningen, where to stopped to have lunch and had a guided city tour. I ended up taking loads of photos while half paying attention to what the tour guide was saying. I have short attention span, unless it's really interesting.

Nope, it's actually moss covered water! Yucks! This is the other side of the water, where there is a bit of water flow:




















The first Dutch woman Doctor, and the first woman who entered university. She has a "don't mess with me" look:

























At the Grote Markt church:


























So much effort to get this photo with a normal digital camera. Had to almost touch the bee to get such clarity. But pretty proud of myself.




















Old meets new:




















Another pretty flower. Think I'm influenced by Sam....

























The best attraction I find in Groningen. So cute!! It's a dental clinic.
