Wonderful Land of Pancakes! YUMMY!



Day 3, we set out for The Hague to see the famous miniature city of Netherlands. They had a very COOL exhibit (when we say cool we mean -9 degrees) of zoo ice sculptures....lions, tigers and bears, oh my! Then, we had an amazing picnic in the park with the food we borrowed from the hostel. From there we headed to the nice city of Delft...we were on one mission...find pancakes! We walked through the city and felt a charmness in the air. There are many markets with bread and cheese shops. They also have an old-fashion windmill...Jay thought that was cool! Eventually, we found a restaurant that had over 50 pancakes to choose from. At this restaurant we meet a nice dutch couple who discussed times that they traveled around different parts of the world. They are also planning a Trans-Siberian trip this summer...who knows maybe we will meet again! After dinner, we made our way back to our hotel, The Soul Inn. By the way, this hotel is completely funky 60's & 70's RETRO! We wish everyone was here!

Cool, I'ven been searching for Dutch people all over the place, but I couldn't find them. But Americain people in the Netherlands is fine too ;), and yes in the Netherlands we have all sorts of pancakes.
I dont know if you have planned to visit Leiden, lovely city and very near too The Hague.

And how did you pick the places to go if I may ask. Because the world has somuch nice residents, it must be hard too pick. When i graduate, which is almost, I'm planninh to have a worldtrip too.

Well good luck and have a lots of fun. Keep writing of cource :)

Harumph! Best of luck and all that. Cheerio and so forth (oops... not in Britain are we)... uh-h-h... I REMEMBER... my Dutch pals from years ago always said "OPP YOO GEZUND-HEIT!" (luv my phonetics?)...as we hoisted a few... well, more than a few... well, a lot more than a few... well...
