Back in Holland...

After a brief stop in Brussels for dinner and to see the infamous Manneken Piss, I was happy to show Holly around our neck of the woods for four days. We spent one day cycling around The Hague, including out to the beach, Panorama Mesdag, and Mauritshuis. We also cycled one evening for dinner with my family by the tiny lock on the Vliet in Leidschendam. Another day we took the girls with us to Leiden to walk the pretty town and visit a few museums (you see them here doing an archeologist workshop at the Antiquities Museum with an authentic Egyptian temple in the background). We also took the new tram service from Leidschendam to Delft to visit the churches and have lunch along a canal. How great it was to share my favorite spots with my oldest friend.
