A visit to Dordrecht, oldest town in Holland

Dordrecht is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands. This gallery gives a view of (only some of) the sites to see. Major part is the visit of the Grote or Onze Lieve Vrouwenkerk, of which building started already in 1285. There is another site with photos taken by Sander Mijnster, who lives in Dordrecht and went with me yesterday. He did make some nice(?) pics of me also -------- https://pbase.com/snader/dordrecht

Tower resembles that of the Rotterdam Grote or St Laurens church
This site is also interesting, it gives also a very beautiful sample of the carillon:

This is Sander Mijnster, taking care of the CD department of Snijders HiFi shop in Rotterdam Netherlands. He is born in Dordrechtand lives ther now
 for all of his life.
We share the affinity for classical (mainly baroque) music. Sometimes we visit a concert together. He is the proud owner of a very expensive stereo 
installation
Later I wil add a gallery with photos of it.

We are seated her at a terrace in the centre of Dordrecht.

There was an advertisement on a unsolved murder mystery, which took place over 10 years ago near wher my friend Martha lived. She has an own theory about
who may have committed this murder. She has phoned the police but they were not over enthousiastic. Martha now is on holiday in Australia, she might see this photo
