Delft, The Netherlands

We spent the day wandering the quaint streets of Delft, famous for it’s blue and white ceramics “Delft Blue” and as the burial place of the House of Orange, Holland’s Royal Family.

They are buried here in the ‘New’ Church.

We had a wonderful relaxing day in this sleepy little town. I think the pictures speak for themselves so I’m going to keep quiet now and let them…

We had a great traditionally Dutch meal at “Der Waag” which is in the old weighing and measuring guildhall. As usual Jessica was a great tour guide.

Cheers,

Mark & Ali

  • Hi Ali and Mark!

    My old Dutch heart fills with pride when I see all the pictures of Delft, Leiden, etc. When I grew up in Holland I guess I took all the quaint sights for granted. Now I look at them through tourist eyes. They are wonderful.
    Venice of the North indeed. I miss the sidewalk cafes.

    Hope you and Walter can find enough ‘facilities’ after all that beer – AND for George!

    Keep all this good stuff coming. We’re already looking for the next episode.

    Give our love to all the relatives!!

    Love Ya!
    Mom
