Muiderslot Castle

One of the local tourism signs talked about a castle so I looked up how to get there and it would be a 17min walk, train, bus then, 30 minute walk and that's one way.
I figured it was an interesting thing to see and with the annoyance of getting there and the weather it's likely not to be too busy.
It was a nice suburban town once I had walked along a blank roadside and through a park reserve forest area. I did find a lot of these areas during my trip had been left to destitute by the local councils.
Walking through the small town of Muiderslot, I had to wait for the bridge to swap as a boat came through.
I proceeded on towards the castle and stomached the €16 entrance fee.
I decided to walk through the gardens first which were nice but a bit unkempd.
Walking through the castle itself I found interesting as it was a proper middle ages castle which had knights for defence and talked about how they lived and the history of the castle since then.
I always feel a what if in these places and trying to envision how I would have survived in those times.Read more
