The Hague, the Netherlands - 5th May 2008

By: panienka

Hi there back home!

I'm so sorry again for not updating for a while, but i've been very very busy here! First of all, my host had her birthday this weekend, she turned 24, and we had to do loads of shopping! And besides that, she got sick too! But, as a birthdaypresent, she got herself a very new digital camera and a really neat dress for a promm.

Today, she and her boyfriend took me and my little yellow fellow TV out for a citytour in the Hague (my host was way to sick to take me to the beach)!

Before we could go into town, we had to wait for the subway first!

here we were enjoying the sun. today it was around 23 degrees Celcius and we got a little tan too! Oh and you even see a dutch tram (kind of subway, but it's not going underground!)

Although we weren't hungry, we asked Panienka if she could make us a photo in front of a "viskar", which is a little stand where they used to sell fish (haring). Nowadays it's a little shop!

We also went to take a look at the Binnenhof. This is where the Dutch Government rests. It looks very pretty in there but it was very busy! Partly because of the weather and partly because today (5th of May) is the day that Holland got freed by the US and Candian Soldiers, in 1945. So there was a lot going on!

The building here has some waco tent, we think it was something with bulletfree glass so the important politicians could walk safely from one building to the other.

and again the Dutch flag with a lot of tourists coming by!


Remember me having a photo taken last time, with a little tower on the back groud? I said that the Prime Minister had his office there. Well, here you see the same office from the other side :)

Well, our tour in the Hague ended here. We had a drink on the terrace and after that we went home :)

I am going to be prepaired to get mailed towards my next host, so I will send you a PM soon!

I really enjoyed my time in Holland and I hope you didn't mind too much that I didn't give that many  updates! My hosts asks me to give her our home address, so she can send at least a postcard!

big kiss!
