| Tuesday, January 8, 2008 Our first stop today was a quick one at the Peace Palace in The Hague. After a short bus ride, we arrived at the Knights Hall and the Dutch House of Representatives for a guided tour. It was interesting to see the similarities and differences between the Dutch government and ours. Then we left The Hague and drove on to the town of Delft for lunch and some shopping. After lunch, we drove on to the Nieuwe Waterweg, where we saw the large storm surge barrier that is used to protect the Netherlands from flooding during a storm. On our way to the city of Goes where we spent the night, we drove through the large city of Rotterdam. This city was interesting because the architecture was much more modern than the other cities in the Netherlands because the city was destroyed during World War II. It was a busy day and dinner at the hotel was delicious. After dinner, we were invited to a local church with connections to Calvin for a short service and dessert. Being very old, the church’s architecture was neat and we were able to climb up the bell tower for a good view of the town. | |
