Rotterdam Marathon


Went down to the city centre to check out the Rotterdam Marathon today. Well, I didn't exactly watch the marathon as that would take around 2+ hours of sitting and waiting. I did stick around to watch a couple of friends run the 5Km and 10Km races.

It was mighty hot today at around 24C which is starting to be in the range of slightly uncomfortable even when you're just laying around. Which is exactly what I did in the late afternoon down by the lake or what we like to call "the beach".

Rotterdam has this lovely lake in the middle of the city with a walking and biking (of course) path around the outside. There's also a sandy area where the locals can pretend they're on a beach in a more exotic locale. This lake is an absolute Eden in the middle of Rotterdam's urban expanse. I love it.
