Party Time in Leiden...

We were thrilled to be invited to Reinhardt and Inga’s 40th Birthday Party, which started with a pub crawl in Leiden on the Friday night. Inga was completely shocked that Jimmy and I had never been to De Bonte Koe (The Spotted Cow)…

…a charming café from 1880 decorated in Delft tiles of cows.

We always love an evening in Leiden!

We also went to Jeneverhuis, a jenever bar that we had also never been to.  

On Saturday, Inga laid a hash trail in Leiden. Sadly, I have somehow lost all of the photos with people in them, but have a few of the scenery. It was a great trail highlighting much of what the city has to offer: sculptures...

…windmills...

…charming alleys...

…and new street art.

Inga was especially happy to show this new artwork to us...

...as well as this almshouse that we had never seen despite the many hashes and walks we’ve done over the years.

The drink stop was at De Burcht, the highest point in the city with amazing views and later we ended on the top floor of a parking garage. That evening they hosted a lively party at Crooked Spider Brewery.
