| Den Hague mixes modern and traditional Dutch life well, and is seen as a welcoming place to live |

| The Het Binnenhof functions as the central government building |

| The MC Escher Museum |
Today the group enjoyed the M.C. Escher Museum located in the very modern city of Den Haag (also functions as the city of Dutch government), and after an overload of the graphic designer's work, they grabbed some frozen yogurt-still somewhat of a new treat to the Dutch compared to its popularity in North America.

| So, what does the group think of the Netherlands? They have enjoyed the vast diversity of the country-everyone adored Amsterdam although they conclude that the rest of the country has a different personality (in a good way). The Dutch have offered them more culture and history than anticipated, and when combined with the good eats and endless bike paths, it has been a great visit. Still undecided if it beats the groups' beloved Belgium... |
 |
| Farewell to Holland (this is as serious as this bunch of goof balls get)! |
The Trekkers are pooped from all of the sightseeing and looking forward to spending time without lines and tourist crowds. The group will get just that for the next few days as they bike through the villages, farms and estates of Essex and Cambridgeshire, with a stop to visit the picturesque town of Cambridge.
