Rotterdam...

We arrived in Rotterdam, The Netherlands this evening...  So a group of us went exploring... we wanted to try a dutch dinner...  To get there we walked over a bridge (found these love locks along the span of the bridge. I had actually never heard of them before)

A love lock or love padlock is a padlock which sweethearts lock to a bridge, fence, gate, or similar public fixture to symbolize their love. Typically the sweethearts' names or initials are inscribed on the padlock, and its key is thrown away to symbolize unbreakable love.

Here is a pic of the cruise ship on our walk to dinner

We found a pub that was very popular for the locals.  We took a look at the menu, all in dutch...  kind of determined a couple of things but were very grateful when the server brought us an English menu... we ended up having the meatballs, what the restaurant was famous for.

On the way back to the ship we walked along the waterfront... stopped for a few souvenirs...  here's some great evening pics of the ship:

until we meet again...
