Rotterdam is a city in South Holland, the Netherlands, located geographically within the Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt river delta at the North Sea.

Just opposite the Rotterdam Central Station we saw a nice cafeteria called Nationale-Nederlanden Douwe Egberts Café which we decided to visit during our trip since its Bond connection: Designing 007 - 50 Years of Bond Style Exhibition theme restaurant.

See more 007 style photos of the cafeteria here.

However, we took a taxi to our 5 star hotel in Rotterdam.

Later we started to walk towards address Museumpark, Westzeedijk 341, where the Kunsthal Rotterdam is. And there it was: 007 Exhibition: Designing 007: Fifty Years of Bond Style! See our report of it here with lots of Bond related photos!

It took 2-3 hours to spend time with this great exhibition. After that we were hungry and found a restaurant near our hotel: Bar and Brasserie Water.

Hotellin henkilökunta oli oikein mukavaa ja pian tapasimme markkinoinnista ja yhteyksistä vastaavan päällikön nimeltä Lous van Prooijen. Hän esitteli meille hotellia.

Lue tekemämme haastattelu hänestä englanniksi täältä.


Myöhemmin lähdimme kävelemään kohti osoitetta Museumpark, Westzeedijk 341, jossa Kunsthal Rotterdam on. Ja siellä se oli: 007-näyttely: Designing 007: 50 vuotta Bond-tyyliä!
Katso raporttimme täältä ja näe rutkasti Bond-aiheisia kuvia! 

Vietimme 2-3 tuntia tässä upeassa näyttelyssä. Sen jälkeen olikin nälkä, ja löysimme hotellimme läheltä paikan nimeltä Bar and Brasserie Water.

Tämä oli hieno päivä! Pysykää kuulolla seuraavaa päiväämme varten: Amsterdam!
