Back in Amsterdam for ASOT, this time I selected Amaze I was able to visit last time, and going back to Wondr Experience, because it's fun :)

I had seen Delft porcelain and tiles in many places, but never saw the original factory in Delft, so it was time to fix that:

Leiden is a charming little town with lots to see and only about 30-40mn from Amsterdam. I had already been in 2021.

This gave me the time to see other sights this time around:

Since it was only a half day, it was over soon, but Corpus, a science museum on the human body, was open late, so I went:

While I have some family in Rotterdam, I knew it was not the most exciting city to visit, so I hadn't been back since my last time in the early 1990's, but thanks to ASOT being in Rotterdam, it was an excuse to go back. It's a faily industrial city, with a few worthwhile museums, and others that are so-so. It does have a few nice views here and there.







The well known highlight is of course the cube houses, that are still being rented and being used by intrepid people:












Another walk through town:




The marine museum was interesting:






There was a museum park with museums of varying quality and you had to pay a non trivial price to enter each of them (higher than some felt worth). The natural history one, was ok though:











Then back for a quick walk through town:

Then back to the main shopping hall, nice at night:
