The Hague Travel Blogs

At the end of last summer (2007), I bought a digital camera. Since then, I published an autumn blog and a winter blog. Fortunately, time keeps moving forward and winter changes into spring. In fact, the meteorological spring started March 1. Therefore, this blog is a celebration to spring. &…

I'm starting my city trail, leaving behind my footprints and capturing beautiful scenery and sharing my journey with everyone.

Just recently I bought a digital camera. I'm not an early adoptee you see. My first camera was a very simple one, then I moved on to aps and now, finally to digital. I have to confess; I should have done this years ago! Although I'm just a hobby photographer I only now realise the true potential…

For those who are traveling to The Netherlands in the Autumn, here you'll find photos of what to expect. For your convenience, photos are all dated on the same day. (easier to watch). Of course, these photos are taken on different days and places.

This site is all about sharing travel tips and stories, pictures and reviews. Most of all this site is about meeting kindred spirits, if possible in person :) On June 2 2009, I showed TravBuddy Vance and his wife Kim around in my hometown The Hague. Read all about it and see the photos.

I cought the train and travelled to The Hague Central station. I had only three minutes left for the next train to The Hague Holland Spoor train station. I bought a train ticket and jumped into the train as I heard the wissel for departure. I made it on time and I was about 13.45 at the train …

To explain why I've been wining about the cold so much, a little info first. You, the reader should know The Netherlands is a coastal country with a mild sea climate. This means that we don't have extreme teperature differences throughout the seasons, unlike a continental climate would. It has been…

Den Haag was  created as a residence for the count. They have a statue from Jantje People say, it is the son of the count. (but it is probably just because Jan is a common dutch name.) This is the song about Jantje.          In The Hague there lives an…

My parents are visiting us in NL for the second time and after our first trip to Leiden together yesterday I decided to take them somewhere more familar to me today. I have made a few trips to Den Haag but still haven't covered everywhere on foot in this great city, which I'm sure you are aware is …

Saturday the 21st of March 2009. A meet up with TB members (11) and CS members (2) in The Hague, political capital of the Netherlands. From 2pm until 5 pm we went ice climbing in The Globe. The Globe has an indoor ice wall where it's always freezing. With four people at the same time we …

Shuffling off to the train station Tuesday morning delivered quite a shock.  We needed to board an 8:40A train to rendezvous with Rudolph in Den Haag at 9:30A, but our first train was running four minutes late ---> unforgivable!  The realization was that we had been traveling all o…

Next morning we woke up after an okay night sleep in the hotel room. The room had been a bit cold; I think we were the first users of it in a long time. You sense that quite fast when you enter a room; no heating and smell of still water. We went down to the breakfast which was a pleasant surprise;…

Since I've been on travbuddy I regular put pictures here but not of my hometown yet, so here are a few photo's of The Hague. From now on I wil keep this blog up to date, so you get an idea of The Hague. The Hague or 's-Gravenhage is the third largest city in the Netherland…

D-day to me, on the contrary to the more commonly used term, means Departure day. It is now 23:52h, tomorrow is D-day. I always get a little nervous the night before departure. Nervous in a positive way, mind you. I always look forward to the journey. It doesn't matter what means of transportat…

I had promised Doug some noodles from Yam Yam noodles To Go (sic) and could I find it?  Could I heck.  It was not behind the Binnestad.  Nor was it in the shopping centre.  We found it once I gave up and went back to the station.  So this entry is really only here to explai…
