My summervacation in a Watertower near the Wetlands

A travelpost unrelated to work! I scheduled two separate weeks for my summervacation. For my week in July, I wanted to travel to Spijkenisse in the South-West of the Netherlands, to visit The Bridges of Europe, an applied arts project by Robin Stam (2011-2013) who actually built the non-existing bridges that are featured on the backsides of Euro banknotes. When I checked out if there was anything else worth visiting nearby, I found a watertowerhotel in Dordrecht (the oldest city in Holland, 1120) from where I could explore wetland area The Biesbosch, that was also on my wishlist!
I had a lovely couple of days; I read on the train, cycled around on my rented bike, went on ferries and boattrips, and was spoiled with views and bubblebaths. On my way back I stopped in 's Hertogenbosch, birthplace of 14th century artist Hieronymus Bosch (aka Jheronimus or Jeroen), so I got some culture in as well. Here is a massive picspam of all the things.
( Day 1: Eurobridges in Spijkenisse & Cycling in Dordrecht )
( Day 2: Whisperboat through the Biesbosch wetland )
( Day 3: Bubbelbaths, more cycling & Walking through the wetlands )
( Day 4: Art & Food in 's Hertogenbosch (Hieronymus Bosch & Bosche Bollen!) )
The End; for now it's back to work (But there will be another summervacationweek in September:-)
