Yumi in Delft

Yumi in Delft

Well Yumi arrived safe and sound in Delft - and Joeri and I picked her up from their airport this morning.
Luckily she'd managed to get a bit of sleep on the plane, as I had a big day planned and gave her the rushed tour of Delft.

After dumping her bags at the hotel and having a quick shower to freshen up, we tackled the churches first - as they're probably the focal points of Delft really. We wandered through the Old Church first, then through the New Church.
Yumi was hesitant to climb to the top of the church initially, but the lure of getting some great photos from above was too enticing (though I think she regretted it half way when her adrenaline was pumping!)
Once at the top though it was all worth it, with a beautiful view all around. I got busy with Yumi's 10-20mm Sigma lens - and took a heap of wide angle shots from above, while Yumi took lots of great shots with her very crisp 24-105mm lens. We even got photos of each other up top just to prove it.
After that we grabbed some drinks and a couple of unusual dutch style sausage rolls for lunch from the supermarket and sat beside one of the canals to eat. Yumi decided she wanted to go on one of the Canal Boat Tours through Delft, so we did that next - taking a tour that took a unique perspective of Delft - from the canals themselves.
This was very interesting and the tour guide gave us lots of history of the area - though it was pretty warm in the hot sun by the end.
After that, we headed back to the hotel where Yumi decided to have a lie down - we've meeting a bunch of the guys from Oqapi and ProcoliX for drinks and dinner tonight in Delft, so she's having a bit of a power nap to get her strength back :)
