This was meant to be a fairly simple trip: Visit Gouda Explore a pretty town Eat something local Instead, it turned into… something else entirely. I wandered around what turned out to be a really lovely town, tried a proper local stroopwafel, discovered a stroopwafel vending machine shop right by the station, and finally got to tick something off the list by riding a double-decker train for the first time. I also managed to complete yesterday’s unfinished business by finding a new strap for my Apple Watch, which I broke on the train to Amsterdam. Unfortunately, the one thing I didn’t manage to fix was my increasingly painful heel injury, which meant we had to abandon our afternoon plans to finally explore Rotterdam properly - and instead head back to the ship so Anna could make me rest. Probably the sensible call… even if it wasn’t the plan. 🚢 Up next: the final episode of this mini-series as we head to one of my all-time favourite cities - Bruges. 👍 Like the video if you enjoy the side-quest chaos 💬 Let us know your favourite unexpected day trip 🔔 Subscribe so you don’t miss the Bruges finale ******************** ABOUT KEVIN CHAPMAN I’m Kevin, a 40-something nerdy bloke who’s lost over 90lb (so far) and still has a long way to go.
