We managed to tear ourselves away from Amsterdam for a few days here and there to see some more of that flat, windy and windmilly country.
In Den Haague we played excessive amounts of Pacman Jr and saw some head-spinningly great art.
In Noordwijk we visited a beautiful beach, ate many deep fried delicacies and watched Germany trounce the Netherlands in the football. When the Nazi’s were hastily clearing out of the Netherlands near the end of WWII they stole many a Dutch bicycle to use as transportation, and so it is now customary for the Dutch to taunt the Germans during football matches by chanting ‘Give us back our bicycles!’
And in pretty and studenty Groningen we saw the Brian Jonestown Massacre massacring the art of music (sorry Kate, but they were in pretty bad form).
Alongside our current partners in travelling, we set out to terrorise miniature Holland...
And visit one of my old favourites, M.C. Escher
Our stay in Njoordwick was short but sweet, maybe a little windy...
Next stop was Groningen to see Kate's favourite band, the Brian Jonestown Massacre
But it was also a very cute town...
With the usual assortment of churches and 'coffee-shops' we had come to expect.
