Today we spent the day strolling the Hague city center. It was a really windy day with some gusts easily reaching 60-70km/hr. I believe this is quite normal considering this is a coastal city with famous wind and kite surfing activity.We enjoyed the Binnenhof (the Dutch Federal government building), walking through the square where Queen Beatrix annually opens the Parliament. Art is scattered throughout the city, interlaced between art galleries and museums such as Escher (the guy who brought use those never-ending staircase).
Lunch was a delicious and reminiscing adventure for me, enjoying old favourites: croquettes. These ham and bechamelle-style sauce filled fried fish-stick looking things (described in tourist books as deep fried meat ragout coated with breadcrumbs) are kind to the pallet after a dipping in a dijonaise-style sauce.
