RE: Wandering Delft: From Iconic Canals to Majestic Gates - Netherlands

in Worldmappin21 days ago

The GOAT of the travel world returns with a new post!

Delft looks beautiful. I would love to live in a house overlooking a canal like that. Every street looks as if it's straight out of a travel guide and so Dutch! Must say though, I wouldn't be happy parking so close to the canal, accidents can happen and as you pointed out, the water levels are so high. What happens when there's a torrential downpour?
I cant believe you didn't see any pottery though in a town that's famous for one thing, I'd though every shop would be selling it to tourists!

As always, brilliant post and stunning photos. You take care and keep wandering and sharing and be in the best health you can manage.

Take care always :-)

Where have I been? I guess I was nowhere to be found otherwise I would have noticed this comment... Sorry for the delay, I guess I was all over the place... 🤣

I was also curious about it because what I can see, floods can occur easily unless they have some kind of precaution taken. Dutch cities are beautiful but yes, I need to actually figure out their culture because these cities often surprise me...

They have and I guess I was blind or it was Sunday so shops were closed. I saw some from the window display but yes, it's unfortunate. Next time if I get the chance...I have seen Delftware somewhere else in the Netherlands but my desire was to know more about the pottery which didn't happen...

I hope you are well...

It's just a bit of clay that's painted blue and white, thats all!

This is a question that needs an answer, so the next time its forecast to rain hard, you need to go back with a little stool and sit by the canal in the rain to watch!

How's your weekend been, Priya? Did you do anything nice?

Take care always :-)
