The Hague

We had a GREAT day on Monday in The Hague! What a terrific city. Amsterdam is the capital of Netherlands, but The Hague is the seat of the government and where the Queen resides. We really enjoyed exploring this amazing city. Enjoy the pictures!


Mauritshuis (Maurits' House) was originally Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen's private home in the 17th Century. Today it contains the Royal Cabinet of Paintings, as well as contemporary Dutch paintings.


The famous Hotel de Indes was the most luxurious hotel we'd ever been inside. Many famous people have stayed there throughout the years. What fineness.


A very interesting fountain outside a very ornate cathedral.


On our way back to the ship, we walked down this fun street strung with Easter eggs!


YUMMY! The Dutch are of course know for their delicious Gouda cheese from Gouda, Netherlands.
