...and skating in Rotterdam.

Today started with finding out that last night was the coldest night in the Netherlands in 27 years. -15 degC in my neighbourhood and areas to the north were in the -20's.

All week everyone at work has been talking about going skating (the outdoor type). Apparently it is a typically Dutch thing to do. So at 10 o'clock this morning, with the temperature a fresh -8 degC I got on my bike and headed out to meet some friends for a bit of skating.




So apparently this field was purposefully flooded in order to create an outdoor skate rink


The friends that I went skating with and their 3 month old twins




This section of the Kralingse Bos lake had frozen over and was being used for all sorts of outdoor activites




Who needs a bridge when you can walk on water!
