Day 12 – Cole Nichols
Today was our last full day in Rotterdam. We ended by taking a trip to Rotterdam’s Football Club, Feyenoord. It was really cool to see their own city’s team and museum. Lastly we had our last group dinner at BrewDog and shared what our favorite city was and what our favorite part about it was.
May 21st – Mercator
We took a boat tour of the Rotterdam ports to get a different view of their scale and function from on the water. Afterward, we visited a rooftop park built on a man-made hill, designed with buildings underneath to maximize urban space and show efficient land use.

Today was our final full day in Rotterdam, we woke up and got on the tram to go on a private tour of FC Fayenoord Rotterdam, the local team. The stadium compared to the Allianz Arena was more focused on the players performance and health rather than fan capacity. The stadium was not as nice [...]

Today we rode a boat up and down the Rotterdam ports. It was pretty cold out but besides that it was very pretty and really neat to learn about the the supply chain through our tour.

Today is the last day of the trip. We got up early to see Rotterdam soccer stadium. After seeing both Munich and Rotterdam soccer stadium, the people around here are very passionate about that sport where it's in their blood. For the US its different and not as big as the fan base as the [...]
Day 11, May 21 – Dennis Browning
We gathered a little later today for a boat tour of the port in Rotterdam. It was interesting to see all the boats gathered so tightly together, and it makes me wonder how frequently they have miscommunications that put one boat at risk of collision with another boat. The machinery was interesting to see at [...]
