Den Haag
Today Theran and I took a day trip to Den Haag (The Hague). It only took about an hour to get there by train, which is the perfect place to read the paper as Theran demonstrates.
When we were there we took in a couple of museums including Mauritshuis which holds Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring and a few Rembrandts. We also went to Museum De Gevangenpoort/Prison Gate Museum. It took us through a famous prison of the area and would have been a wonderful tour if you understand Dutch; they failed to tell us it wasn't an English speaking tour. We walked around the city for a while and found it mostly resembles Kavelstraat (a popular shopping street in Amsterdam). It didn't seem like there was a lot of the old town left, but overall is a good place to explore more of the Netherlands.
