Our Rotterdam Domicile

Our VW camper ... the 'Full Dragon' ... so named because Otto was trying to tell me about the volkswagen and I kept thinking he was saying 'full dragon' (the accent thing you know?) so, the name has stuck! Otto can stand up in the camper which has a nice cooking area and he modified the sleeping area to accommodate his length.
Our building on Carel van Nieveltstraat. The door seen between the 2 cars is our outer door that we share with 5 other units. Ours is 23A and we are the 3 lower windows just to the right of the door. The window closest to the door is our 'sleeping room' (as they are called here) and the next 2 are in the Dining/Office area.
When you come in the outer door you go up the stairs and we are the door on the right. If you go downstairs we come to all the storage rooms. Each condo unit has their own locked storage room. The next floor up has two more condos and then there are 2 more on the next floor up.
A view of the kitchen looking into the entry room.
Our 'sleeping room' + surfboard. Otto's dad made the bed. There is a wood border all the way around the bed - the head and foot of the bed touch the walls as does the side where the window is. There is just enough room for the door to swing open and shut on the other side of the bed. This window faces East.
