Weekend means an “us” time for me and my husband. The only two days we have to enjoy each others company at its fullest. It usually begins with a trip to Rotterdam which is a city next to ours. We like going there simply because it’s a lot livelier than our small city. Rotterdam Central bustles in weekend. Shopping centers are full, weekend market is up (where I always buy my flowers, vegetables, fruits and sometimes fresh seafoods), you’d also see street performers and fast food grabs.

Anyway, we would always park the car by the water (river), which really looks like a canal because it’s rather smaller than that of the famous Rotterdam harbour. Aside from seeing boats and small ships docked , which I love to look at , BIKES and sometimes shopping carts are also popular in the area. But these bikes and cart aren’t standing on the ground but rather tossed in the water by thieves who have no “further use” for them.

Incidentally, I posted an entry about this shopping cart last week (see image below) I have seen it (then) for 2 weeks in a row, and last weekend was the 3rd time. The shopping cart was still there and this time, with more ‘companions’. At the right side you’ll see a yellow bike.

a shame that this bike was just tossed away

another casualty

all these bikes and cart were still in good condition….. just a few meters away from each other.
