Road trip 3, part 3

OK, the real reason I went back to Utrecht was to see the Dom during the day.
What's the Dom, you didn't ask?

The tower, from afar...the highest in Holland (112m/368ft)

directly ahead

and from close up

directly in front

About to go through

Going through the tower to the courtyard.
It used to be connected to the church, but a tornado in 1674 took out the nave that connected them.
They never finished rebuilding it, and they remain unconnected.

Not much to say so I'll let the pictures do the talking

That's it for Utrecht.  Tot ziens!
