Hashing in Inner Delft

Eventually the trail led us into the city center through Oostpoort (East Gate), Delft’s only remaining medieval gate, dating back to  approximately 1400. 

Came across a few reminders of Delft’s native son, Johannes Vermeer, who painted Girl with a Pearl Earring.

We ran right through the main square, past the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) with its tower built in 1872...

…the restaurants catering to tourists...

…and the city hall from 1618.

Eventually the runners met up with the walkers, who were already enjoying a beer at Bier Fabriek (Beer Factory). Afterwards we attempted one more stop, but it was too full so we carried on back to the start where we circled up outside with crappy beer before finally enjoying a good craft beer.
