Grocery shopping at China Town and dinner at Hotel New York Restaurant on the weekend. This is the first time in 2010 for me at my favorite seafood restaurant. It’s getting more expensive at the restaurant. But since I like to treat myself to some oysters, it was worth a visit to the place. I even tried Dutch White Beer (Wieckser Witte). It went well with the seafood.

I found more elephants from the Elephant Parade Rotterdam earlier today at Kop van Zuid. I know of this area well since Hotel New York was once a place I often went to for good serving of oysters.

The sun was hidden behind the clouds so I didn’t get as nice photos as I wanted. I was hungry and wanted to eat first but Johan said by then the sun would be gone at 18:00 hour. Funny though that after we ate an early dinner and was finished our meal before 18:00 hour, the sun came out again. I was too tired to go back for a second round of photo session with the elephants.
