The Hague, Holland! - 1st March 2008

By: panienka

Hi there again!

Have you heard about the wind we've had in Holland? It wasn't that horrible as sometimes in the US, but for Dutch standards it was pretyy horrible! But, I've had so much fun! We even went to the beach!!!

First, my host and her friend took me to the centre of the Hague. Whilst walking to a nice cosy pub to have some lunch, we passed the Palace Noordeinde, where the Queen lives. But she wasn't at home today!

On the opposite side of the Palace, there was a big statue of a man on a horse. My host only couldn't tell me who it was, nor could her friend. But I didn't care, I just wanted them to take my picture!

After lunch, we walked back to the centre of the city. We passed the Binnenhof, also know as the place where the Dutch Government holds meetings and everything. If you take a good look, you can see a little tower just to the right of my right ear. That the so called "Torentje van Balkenende", it's the office of the Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende.

When we walked to the Binnenhof (you can take a look from the inside too!), we passed a little plaza called Buitenhof and we saw a fire department car! The wind was really blowing and the flag mast was probably too old and cracky. So they had to take it away. It looked cool!

At the Binnenhof, my host and her friend took another two photo's!

When we got out, we saw a authentical Vis-kar, a small car where you can buy fish! We didn't eat any, because we already had lunch!

So, we went to the beach! Whoosh, what a wind! I think it was about 9 beaufort!
Behind me you see "De Pier". At the end of de Pier is a restaurant and a Casino. And we could even walk on top of the Pier!

And finally I got a photo with Het Kurhaus. It's a big hotel/conference building and it is something typical in Scheveningen!

Well, I think I'll go to my next host at the end of this week. I don't know if I'll be able to meet with Apollo, I think I've heard something that both hosts are way  too busy!
I'll let you know!

Take Care & very Big Kiss,

Maybe!
