A day trip to Den Haag

Today we headed into the Haag to see our Cousin Benny and his two year old daughter, Caitlynn. Benny had work untill later in the day, so we decided to do some wandering around the pier (Where we had a family dinner a few days earlier). It was a very hot day, Christy even got a little bit of a burn! We thought we wouldn't need to whip out the sunscreen untill Spain, but there you go. We ate lunch at a little Italian place on the beach. Unfortunatly as this wasn't really a tourist hub, the menus were all in Dutch, but we figured them out more or less and ordered a four cheese pizza to split for 10 euros.

We strolled around a little more through the shops, contemplating just spending all our money on clothes, decided against it, and headed off to the Central Station by tram to meet up with Benny. It was really neet to get aquainted with Caitlynn - for a two year old she has a lot of personality! She's very paticular about everything being clean, and she was frequently picking litter up as we were walking to put it in the trash can!

We headed back to Noordwijk and to our hostel, where we went for dinner again (in fact to the same restraunt - they own a chain around the area) and hung out at the hostel where they were having a big poker night. The place was very busy as guests come as well as hostel residents, and it's quite a small bar they have. We played card games of our own at the bar and went to bed early, in anticipation for the flight the following morning to Spain.
