After walking around The Hague and having a small lunch in a wonderful cafe we proceeded on to our next destination which was Delft. We saw wonderful canals (bottom left picture)and a fabulous old church- where the royal family is buried underneath it. And yes- you can see the church is leaning by quite an impressive angle. (see top pictures) The roads here are very narrow- and are all brick- there is a mix of people on foot and bicycles- there are many bikes here! After walking around Delft we proceeded on to Rotterdam, where Jack and Hetti's son and girlfriend live (Jack and Minke) We had a wonderful dinner and a splendid time with them (see bottom right picture). We had drinks before dinner, then wine for dinner, then a dessert type drink after dinner. In Holland when saying goodbye it is customary to kiss one another 3 times total! Minke told me she thought in Greece they kiss 4 times. It is so interesting to learn the customs in different areas! I love it here! It makes me want to see so much more of the world!
