Expedition

I took the 10:01 Intercity train service from Delft to Rotterdam. Outside the station I picked up a bicycle from the Mobike bike sharing service, which I then used to cycle about 3 km to the cemetery. I parked the bike outside the gate and walked inside. After walking around a bit I found the hashpoint and the corresponding grave. It belonged to the de Vries family, and contained the remains of four individuals. They had lived to be 73, 82, 85 and 95 years old. The grave was first used in 1950, and most recently in 2008. I took a few pictures and then went on my way.

  And this is what you get. Kind of small by Dutch standards and not very comfy, but quite convenient because you can pick it up and leave it wherever you like.
