Delft is a
picturesque town with pretty canals and a historic town centre. It is also the
town famous for the blue and white pottery called Delftware. Some of pottery is
inspired by Chinese Ming porcelain.
We loved the canals and bridges and found it very charming to walk along the canals with cafes and shops by the canal.
We toured
the Delft factory and the 1st stop was a craftsman was putting final
finishing touches to a Miffy pottery. The Japanese tourists there were pretty
excited to see a modern touch to the age old craft.
We were impressed with The Nightwatch by Rembrandt that was recreated into a pottery art.

We had a quick lunch at Mr Fish where they sell all kinds of fish and shellfish items and we ate at the shop enjoying the fresh seafood and crisp winter air. We loved the herrings with the pickles and onions.We had fried oysters, anchovies, surimi....
It was a
good day out.
