Delft: Biking around the Netherlands
Today was a learning experience in Delft, Netherlands as the students biked around the city following the correct traffic laws. Biking through roundabouts and intersections with cars, pedestrians, and trams is different! The roads are different widths in Delft to accommodate for the pedestrian and bicycle traffic as well as to limit fast-paced motor vehicles.
After touring different types of bicycle facilities for two hours, some students went off to explore the Netherlands on foot.
The old town square, or Markt, is a fun place to shop and walk around the canals. One gift shop has an oversized pair of wooden shoes for visitors to stand in -- Katerina Scott gave it a try! Real clogs, or klompen, have been worn in the Netherlands since medieval times.
Our location in Delft includes a communal kitchen and students cooked dinner together.
