It has been a grey wet day all day so we decided to do a bit of a round trip in the car in the hope that the weather would clear by the time we returned to Delft so we could explore the old town in fine weather. Instead we parked the car on our return then walked to explore the church with the scary leaning tower but it was closed so we wandered back to our hotel and sat for a bit then ventured out for a hot chocolate and had a quiet wind down before dinner. I’ll let a few pictures tell the story today.



The Peace Palace in The Hague. This is where the International Court of Justice is housed and it felt a little awesome to stand in front of it after having also stood in front of the World Health Organisations building in Geneva last year



The smallest Museum in Delft…the display is changed regularly. Bit of a giggle



A canal scene in Delft on our way back to our hotel with the leaves on trees becoming very sparse

Bits and Bobs:

Local residents can park along the canal edge but not for the faint hearted. Our canal tour guide told us yesterday that since the canals are not all that deep it is not uncommon to scrape across things which have fallen, or been thrown in. Check out the smart car below.



Wouldn’t want to be inattentive when starting up here or kerplop in the drink!
