Saturday's highlight was our climb of the tower of the "Nieuwe Kerk" at 108 meters, an imposing structure even in the 21st century. So we went up its 356 steps, passing the clock mechanism and the carillion to step out on a narrow parapet to see Delft laid out below us on a glorious, sunny May morning. A real treat. Mind you, for us, from the skyscraper generation, there was an uncanny, dizzy feeling about the height and the narrow staircase to get to the top. Imagine how those in he middle ages would have felt.
