Yesterday my husband and I visited an old church, De Grote Kerk (The Big Church), that was built in the 15th century but only was completed in 1627. It was 72 meters high with 274 steps so the climb is estimated to take at least 7 minutes -it took me longer than that yesterday, whew! The church is also leaning, just like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, for about 2.25 meter from the base.
If you look closer, you’ll see the ‘orgel‘ (organ) at the back is not standing straight.
Grote Kerk or Big Church in the city of Dordrecht, Nederland.
while this is a view from the Church tower, a shame it was foggy and as usual, the sun wasn’t shining …I live in one of those houses. Regards from Holland to you all!

Hello Thess!
Alam mo based sa mga past entries mo ang dami ring mapupuntahan dyan sa inyo pero di man lang ako nakailot dyan. Ayaw kong magbisikleta e, remember mo nagbisikleta sila H and A. Di kasi ako sanay sa lugar. Oks lang kung maglalakad sana. Di bale baka may susunod pa. Hehehe…
Have a nice weekend! Mwah!
