‘Visit the ss Rotterdam, once a cruise ship, now a hotel-restaurant that is permanently moored. On the ship’s outdoor terrace, you can request a ball to play beach volleyball. Ask the Rotterdam locals to join you, they will be happy to. There, you can enjoy the sun all day long and watch the beautiful boats passing by. At restaurant Maas, you can sit on the water’s edge with a view of Tropicana, where the sun sets. Every week the chef cooks a no-waste soup, and there are regular collaborations with other chefs from the neighbourhood. Get ice cream at HIJS at the Kaap, and dine with your feet in the sand at de Maaskantine on the other side of the river. You’ll have the most wonderful day.’
