Today we made it to The Hague, a 10 minute train ride from Leiden.

Our first stop was Lola's for coffee. 

Then a bike ride through town to the Peace palace past embassies, the King's palace (Noordeinde), the Houses of Parliament and the centre.

We also saw the Mauritshuis museum which had been newly renovated. We saw this painting of The Bull done in 1647, quite famous in Dutch naturalist painting.

Every Dutch household has this image in the home. Like this one on a cookie jar.
