On 11th of July, the weather was extremely hot here. It reached 28 degrees. We went to Utrecht for some sightseeing.
Our way lead us along a river. It was pretty busy, we saw many huge cargo ship and also smaller hobby ships passing by. On the deck people were drinking beers, sunbathing, reading a book. It must be great to be a ship-owner...
So, river and ships on one side, and green areas with grazing cows, horses and sheeps and family farms on the other. If we looked ahead, a green alley of trees showed us the way, and at the same time provided us some shadow from the sun.
The most significant sight of the city is the Dom Tower. It is so huge, it was hard to take a photo of it. It is said to be the highest church tower in the country.

On 4th of July, exactly one week before our trip, Tour de France started from Utrecht. Shops were still full of TdF t-shirts and other souvenirs.

The Dom garden was gorgeous. The open corridors and windows around the garden look a bit like in Hogwarts, arent' they?
As I have mentioned, it was 28 degrees. After arriving home, we realised, we got tanned. Maybe it would have been a better idea to go to the beach. So, I hope it was not the last hot day of this summer.
