My first trip out of the UK since I got back to the UK in 2020. What a radical lifestyle change I had. It wasn't far. I took the Eurostar to Amsterdam, arrived late and stayed in a hostel, then the train to Rotterdam the next morning.

Rotterdam was much more of a Big City than I expected! I had a picture in my head based on nothing in particular. I stayed in a hostel in the Cube Houses, which were pretty cool, although extremely loud due to the proximity of a large road and nightlife.

After checking in, I visited the Cube House museum, which only takes a few minutes but I'd definitely recommend. Then I went for a wander around the general area. The Markthal is excellent architecturally, and also has lots of good food.

I ate ice cream while I waited for a walking tour, and then followed that for a couple of hours. There are really a lot of interesting buildings in Rotterdam.

I ended the day with copious amounts of junk food at the Vegan Junk Food Bar.
