We befriend a cat but unfortunately the junk food we bought at the supermarket near the church is not to its taste.

These two cats, met separately, were not shy but they were not looking for interactions either.

Not sitting on the armchair to observe this lichen-covered rock in order not to disturb the lichen on the armchair.

The windmill is a museum. Grinding stones sit in a corner, why did I never notice before that these are even more interesting seen sideways? In another corner, a device. I would be surprised if it wasn't a speed regulator.

In the park meeting some djur or as they are called here, dieren.

Either an apartment building with hair salon was deliberately built with religious symbolism, and we've seen this kind of weird before but it was in North America they are different there, or a church was repurposed for apartments and, you know, hair salon.

After walking some more we reach the city center. But the cheap hotel is not in the city center, it's way out by the fast road.

I had forgotten about this fence-bench protecting pedestrians crossing the first bridge after the windmill. But i remember it now.

Because of a discussion with @kbm@mastodonapp.uk , I've learned about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinderdijk where several windmills in a row lift the water several meters up to the next canal (eventually sea level) and next time we must go there.

There's people on the first floor of the windmill!!!!11

The work desk is facing the window at tree-top level and there's a view on a windmill so I'm going to allow it.

The famous red light district.

Nice little room at next hotel (not cheap category but affordable on the days chosen, we picked the order of cities to optimize room rates and that made this one in particular barely more expensive than a cheap-category hotel in the same location would be).

The rain has become a drizzle but it is quite windy.

We have been here before (at the bottom of this windmill which is also the one visible through the window). This is very close to the airport and one of the stations connected directly to it by train, if you've already seen the big city on the other side of the airport.

Good little hotel room in cheap hotel (not very inexpensive but these are the nights when the Tribe became unaffordable, these tourist-oriented hotels are just more expensive on week-ends). There's a kettle, whereas the previous cheap hotel had only a microwave in the lounge.

There's a church and some even taller buildings in the distance but we must leave the park and take the train now.

Yall im at the train station and there's a city called Gouda we can go to it! Imagine if there was a place called Saint Nectaire (we couldn't go to it it takes two days of walking from the nearest train station)

I don't want to look like I'm reducing this beautiful country to walkable cities, but:
If you live in a less walkable place, and the big city at home isn't even in the lower half, just go to any walkable place at all and it'll be a wonderful holiday.

Boss, boss, you know how our sausage is too low on saturated fat and salt? I have had an idea, you know what has saturated fat and salt? Cheese, that's what.
(I bought it before translating the label. It tasted disgusting.)

At the train station, taking the train. Good platform castle.

Imagine you are an insect on an organized trip and you're thinking “I hope the hotel will be good tonight” and when you arrive the insect hotel is this.

Also the risk of rain is high tomorrow but we'd have to start at 3am to be certain to avoid it and then we'd arrive at the cheap hotel before check-in time, so we'll just wear polyester and hope for the best.

Hair salon (2). I snuck past the entrance door of the appartement side because that's what a feral cat would do (1)

So it starts. The GPX trace says to go right through here(1) which seems like a mistake but there is a sign of forbidden things (meaning some things are allowed) and a stile (2). The unsolicited chatbot said that markings would be blue and yellow so these are probably them (3, white-over-red hiking route markings as used in at least France and Spain).

Overall an good time at the hotel's restaurant, seriously considering getting yet another voucher and having dinner there again. Unusual policies around the "skip the clean" program but to some people, a drink voucher will be more valuable than a few fidelity rewards points. It me i'm some people.
