North of Dam, South of Dam

Saturday started a little late. But decided to stick to the plan and go further up north, further up from Amsterdam.

Went to this town called Enkhuizen and a "ghost town" called Zuiderzeemuseum. The train ride was from Rijswijk - Den Haag HS - Harlem - Amsterdam - Hoorn - Enkhuizen and back the same way.



Well Zuiderzeemuseum is not really a ghost town but in the winter, all the activities are on hold and you can walk around the old reconstruction of a town. In the summer, it is a hive of activity but in the winter, it is a ghost town, but nice nevertheless.



I enjoyed my whole day in Enkhuizen and later went to Den Haag for dinner. Ate dinner in this place called Rootz which serves 60+ different beers, I had one with dinner.

On Sunday, another day I started a little late. Went to breakfast in my shorts and t-shirt and the restaurant was crowded with a lot of people who were all dressed to go out. Ran to catch the train on time and managed to do so.

So, this time south of Rotterdam, significantly south. A train from Rijswijk - Delft - Rotterdam - Eindhoven. Then on return trip, Eindhoven - 's-Hertogenbosch - Utrecht - Den Haag - Rijswijk.

It was raining everywhere, every stop. In Eindhoven, went to a few museums including the Van Abbemuseum as well as Design House.



Then went to 's-Hertogenbosch. How do you pronounce that, an 's in a name?

Anyway, people call it Den Bosch.



It is a nice historical town with a lot of nice architecture. I walked down in the rain and then saw this big party in a pub with people dressed up. Apparently, they are practising for the parade and carnival next week.



So I joined in as well. Got talking with this young group of people and their parents and had a blast of a time.



Then had dinner and on my way back to the hotel.

Nice eventful but tiring day.

Take care and be well.
