The Hague

Share
Delft is close to The Hague, and in fact you can get a tram all the way from one to the other.  Unlike Amsterdam no trams run through the streets of Delft.  However there is a big modern railway station, and trains, trams, and buses run from there.

A tram from The Hague arriving in Delft.  Buses also use the tramway like a bus lane.

I almost forgot to get a picture of a traditional windmill.  Taken through the window, sorry!

The Hauge CBD.

Vermeer's "Girl with Pearl Earring".  At the Mauritshuis Gallery in The Hague.

Potter's "The Bull", 1647.  Not quite as famous, but much bigger.
The tram to The Hague spent much of the journey running on a special railway, away from any roads.  It seemed like a cross between a train and a tram,  We passed small ships powering along the transport canals which criss-cross this part of the world.  Often you can't see the canal - just a boat speeding along through the suburbs!
