Utrecht with Ton & John

sunday (22jul07) was supposed to be a hiking day suggested by Ton. but with some unforeseen circumstances we ended up site seeing in Utrecht.

Dom Church, the tower on the left, was what drew us here in the first place. Ton parked his car outside the town central. we took a long walk around the nice town. to get up the tower we have to pay 7.50 euros with tour guide, off we went.


one of the huge bells in the upper part of the Church tower.


the narrow staircase to the top of the tower. it was some 400 steps to reach there.


more bells on the top of the tower, the big ones were just as big as the pic above. it was 4pm and the bell rang, man, it was loud, but nice to hear. =)



took some pics on top of the tower.


wohay! UFO landed on the building


more pics...



oh Johnny boy, can't you hold for another 15mins??? =(


had a walked around the Church.



arrrgggghhh!! go away John!!!!


poooof! John gone!



magnificient view.


beer. something folks here can't live without. below was what called white beer or wheat beer, house brewed =). tasted good.



it was dinner time and we walked around to find some nice restaurants around the side of the canal. we felt italian that evening so italian we went.


went to a cafe after the dinner, enjoyed a nice decaf latte and took another pic on the way to the car.


BURP!
