Postcrossing postcard sent on the 2rd October; received on the 9th November
Postcard image: The canals at Utrecht, by night
____________________________________________________________________

Utrecht, a city that has some of the most beautiful canals in the world, I read somewhere. To prove it Suzanne sent me a beautiful postcard of the canals at night in the city where she lives inside envelope #50. Thank you so much, Suzanne.

It seems that the main difference between the canals here and at Amsterdam, just 35 km away, is that Utrech canals have warfs that had pedestrian access walkwcristinaays along them. In time, the wharfs transmorfed into cafés and restaurants and the walkways are now streets what creates a two level street system along the canals.
