    We took the tram early to Central Station for a bus tour to Madurodam, the city of miniatures, a drive thru visit to The Hague and its Peace Palace for negotiating international conflicts, Delft, with the Royal Delft factory and the city square, where we had an awesome salmon/arugula/mustard sandwich for lunch and Anna purchased a hand painted Royal Blue Delft dog. The last visit for the day was Rotterdam where we enjoyed a 75 minute boat tour of the harbor, then a visit downtown to the yellow cube houses and the Martel, an unusual building stuffed with food stalls on the interior and apartments lining the sides and top of the curved roof.Read more
