Our plan for today was to either ride a 30 mile loop to the east or to take a train into Rotterdam. But at least a couple of the places in Rotterdam we would like to see are closed on Monday. We have an extra day built into our plan so we will take it here in Gouda today and go into Rotterdam on Tuesday. Still raining steadily this morning.
In the morning we spent a long time at a famous huge local church with many surviving medieval stained glass windows. They were taken down and hidden from rampaging iconoclasts in the fifteen hundreds and again from the Germans in the 1940s. In 1947 they added a "Liberation" window. See pics.
In the afternoon we walked a few blocks to a harbor with a collection of privately owned historical ships and boats. See pics.
Went to the movies in the evening at a charming tiny theater. Saw Demolition, English with Dutch subtitles. Not great movie but a fun outing regardless.
