On the first day of spring, we drove in our orange Mini Cooper to Rotterdam in the sun.
What a good start of the new season, which we were really looking forward to.
We parked our car near the park, had a coffee to go at Parqiet and walked under the river through the Maas tunnel, to the Charlois district.
The monumental Maastunnel (built in 1942) was renovated, restored and closed for cyclists and walkers, between the summer of 2017 and October 2020.
Charlois is a versatile Rotterdam district with nine neighborhoods, each with its own character.
We explored the oldest part Old Charlois and it almost felt like a village.
After returning to the park, we enjoyed a self-brought lunch with sandwiches and fruit, on a bench in the sun overlooking a bright blue field with oriental star hyacinths.
Bring on spring!
