Today was relaxing day. Up when we woke up, then breakfast, then off to the station to get our tickets to Delft. The day is so nice we decided we didn’t want to spend it in a museum – sun out and warm so we walked from the station along the waterfront. Stopped for tea and coffee, and carried on to the tram stop. On the way saw boats, including a huge cruise ship, come in and go out, lots of birds, and just generally a lovely day.<\/p>\n
We took the tram to the Vondelpark and strolled through the park. Stopped again for a cold drink, thought about lunch but as it was so pretty there were a lot of people! So we just had something to drink and then along to the end and another tram to the office.<\/p>\n
So now sitting in the office while Joe works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
