Den Haag; Saturday, 26 October, 2013

First stop of the morning was the Haagse Toren, at 42 stories the highest viewpoint in the Netherlands.

Having taken in the stunning views of the sand dunes at the coast I headed back down the tower and caught a tram out to the end of the line at Duindorp and then walked along the massive sandy beach back towards the harbour at Scheveningen. Past the harbour I continued walking into the centre of Scheveningen to have a look around before catching the bus round to the dunes further down the coast to Kijkduin.

I then took the bus back into the centre of town and had a long wander around The Hague itself, including taking in the Dutch Houses of Parliament.

After stopping for a very, very late lunch I wandered over to the stunning Peace Palace, now home of the International Court of Justice.

From there I hopped onto a tram and made it to Scheveningen just in time to catch a stunning sunset over the beach and harbour.

Having had a wander along the seafront at sunset I hopped back on a tram into town and back to the hotel for dinner and then bed.
