That you're having a very tasty lemonade with your partner on a terrace somewhere in Delft, when you're getting all intrigued by a light bulb. 🤦
I have never been officially diagnosed with it, but I wouldn't be surprised if I have an at the very least mild case of ADHD. 🤣

Delft is a charming and historic city in the province of South Holland, Netherlands, nestled between The Hague and Rotterdam. It is renowned for its beautiful canals, rich cultural heritage, and strong connections to both Dutch royalty and the painter Johannes Vermeer.
Delft received city rights in 1246 and played a prominent role in Dutch history during the Golden Age. It was the residence of William of Orange, the founding father of the Netherlands, who was assassinated in Delft in 1584. The Royal House of Orange-Nassau has strong ties to the city—most members are buried in the Nieuwe Kerk.
Delft was the hometown of Johannes Vermeer, one of the greatest Dutch painters of the 17th century. You can visit the Vermeer Centrum Delft, a museum dedicated to his life and works, though it doesn't house original paintings—it offers interactive displays and reproductions.
With its canals, gabled houses, and bike-friendly streets, Delft offers a quintessential Dutch experience. The central market square (Markt) is one of the largest in the Netherlands, surrounded by cafés, shops, and historic buildings. Delft is world-famous for its blue-and-white pottery, known as Delftware or Delfts Blauw.

The Euromast is an iconic observation tower in Rotterdam, Netherlands, standing at 185 meters tall. Originally constructed between 1958 and 1960 for the 1960 Floriade horticultural exhibition, it was designed by architect Hugh Maaskant. The tower was inaugurated on March 25, 1960, by Princess Beatrix. In 1970, the Euromast was extended with the addition of the Space Tower, increasing its height by 85 meters and making it the tallest public building in the Netherlands at the time.
Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Rotterdam from the observation deck located at 112 meters. For an even higher vantage point, the Euroscoop—a rotating glass elevator—ascends to 180 meters, providing a 360° view of the city and beyond.
The Euromast features a restaurant situated at 96 meters above ground, offering a unique dining experience with stunning views of the Rotterdam skyline. Guests can indulge in brunch, lunch, high tea, high wine, or a three-course dinner.
For a truly unique experience, the Euromast offers two luxury hotel suites located at a height of 100 meters. Each suite comes with its own balcony, providing guests with breathtaking views of the city or the harbour.
Thrill-seekers can partake in abseiling from the Euromast during the abseiling season, which runs from May to September. Participants descend from a height of 100 meters.

A Ferris wheel is a large, rotating upright wheel with passenger cabins (often called gondolas) attached along its rim. As the wheel turns, these cabins remain upright, offering riders elevated views of the surrounding area. Ferris wheels are staples at amusement parks, fairs, and cityscapes worldwide.
Ferris wheels operate using a combination of mechanical and physical principles. Rotation Mechanism: Electric motors drive gears that turn the central axle, causing the wheel to rotate. Gravity's Role: While motors initiate movement, gravity assists in the wheel's rotation, especially as it descends, contributing to the ride's smooth motion. Cabin Stability: Gondolas are designed to pivot at their attachment points, allowing them to remain upright due to gravity as the wheel turns.
Riders often experience a sensation of lightness at the top of the wheel and increased pressure at the bottom, due to changes in apparent weight caused by the wheel's motion.
Before the modern Ferris wheel, "pleasure wheels" existed in the 17th century, where passengers rode in chairs suspended from large wooden rings turned manually. The first modern Ferris wheel was designed by George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Standing at 80.4 meters (264 feet), it featured 36 cars, each accommodating up to 60 passengers.

Leiden is a historic and vibrant city in the Netherlands, located about 20 km northeast of The Hague. Leiden is home to Leiden University, founded in 1575—the oldest university in the Netherlands. It has a prestigious academic reputation and has educated members of the Dutch royal family as well as many Nobel laureates.
The city played a key role in Dutch history, particularly during the Eighty Years' War. In 1574, after surviving a long siege by the Spanish, Leiden was rewarded with its university. This event is still commemorated annually on October 3rd (Leidens Ontzet) with parades, food, and festivals.
With its picturesque canals, old windmills, and 17th-century buildings, Leiden is often called a smaller, quieter version of Amsterdam. It’s very walkable and has a warm, lively atmosphere.
Leiden has one of the oldest botanical gardens in Europe—Hortus Botanicus, closely tied to the university and to famous scientists like Carolus Clusius, who helped introduce tulips to the Netherlands.
Leiden boasts many museums, including Rijksmuseum van Oudheden (National Museum of Antiquities), Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Museum Boerhaave (science and medicine), and Museum De Lakenhal (art and history).

When I'm in Leiden, I can't help but stop by this building with its beautiful crow-stepped gable. Especially on a day with a nice blue sky for contrast.
