Gouda

Hello my lovely friends!
I thought I'd share a few pictures from a couple weeks ago when I went to Gouda, a very traditional city famous for it's stroopwafels, candles, and you guessed it, Gouda cheese!
First stop, the cheese factory!


Inside was a lovely and very typical dutch stained glass window.


Peter and Jose! Love them!

This is a type of cuckoo clock thing where every hour these little guys will make their appearance as little chimes go off.

This is the very beautiful Stadhuis (town hall)



't Keldertje is a historic candle shop where you can buy authentic Gouda candles. Look how small and sweet it is!

Inside the library



This little sign indicates a location to be a historic monument. Seeing as Gouda is such a old and historic town, you can find these almost everywhere!


Andy Goldsworthy was here!
Outside the library






More later :P
p.s. somehow in the process of making this post the text got all messed up so it's hard to read.. sorry!
