Gilbert - A Fun Trip part 4: Deventer (3)

 

At the end of Scary/Narrow Street there was another church.

If I remember correctly it was the Broederenkerk.

Let's have a closer look.

Inside there was a gate so we couldn't tour the whole church. 

We could only visit the portal.

We did peek through the gate of course. 

There were altars and statues for a couple of saints.

I forgot who this guy is.

A Maria altar.

Another peek the gate.

The other saints had lighted candles, but Joseph didn't, so we lighted two candles.

We then walked back to the town square.

After a last look around we decided to go back to the car.

On our way back I spotted this painting.

Oh, a Charles Dickens museum.

It was closed though.

But wait...

I spotted someone climbing down a rope made of blankets.

It turned out to be part of the museum.

It seems she's called Johanna.

Not sure why she was climbing down the building.

Random cool art in a window.

Cool art on a garage door.

Pretty house.

And then it was time to drive back to Diana's house.

My souvenir from Deventer:

A McPig sized suitcase filled with Deventer Kruidkoek

(a sort of cake with ginger in it)

Next:

Well.... I'm going on another trip, so we will see what I post next.

It's been awhile since my trip to Deventer so let me see if I remember everything.

We had lunch at a trendy restaurant.

Did some more sightseeing.

And made our way to a beautiful church.

It too was surrounded by fair stuff.

I think this was the Lebuinus church

It sure was impressive.

The inside as well.

There was a photo exhibition in the church as well.

I spotted a cool gravestone.

 

And very old decorations they managed to restore.

It was a very beautiful church in my opinion.

This was a square behind the church.

cool building spam.

This used to be a decoration for a mailbox.

We found a street named engestraat: scary street!

My owner said it can also mean narrow street, but I hoped it would be a scary street of course!

*sigh*

Next: another church and more

Hi, it's me!

 

My apologies for disappearing while in the middle of my adventures in Deventer.

I'm well, but my owner has been busy with other things.

I will try to post more again soon.

On the second day of out trip we went to Deventer.

A city in Overijssel, the Netherlands.

It was a very pretty city in my opinion.

We found a church!

When I saw this statue from a distance I thought it might be a pig statue because of the look of the ears. It was dogs though...

We spotted a Free Little Library.

There was even one book in English in it that sounded interesting.

The weather was really lovely.

I saw an old bear and waved at her.

When we found the town square it turned out they were busy building a ferris wheel!

The statue of former queen Wilhelmina didn't seem to mind. 

More fair construction.

Cool building with lions.

This statue looked like he had serious WTF thoughts about the fair.

We saw a beer cafe that had a witch crashing into it.

A Pig!

Otters

There were umbrellas decorating the streets.

Do you see the elephant?

A big wall painting.

As I said: Deventer looked really pretty.

Coming Next: lunch, buildings, and a church
