Visitors from Paris

We have our relatives from the Embassy in Paris spending the weekend in our house and just left this morning to drive back to Paris. It takes about 5 hours from The Hague to reach Paris. On Saturday we brought them to Amsterdam and a few interesting places around it. Spring is definitely here now. The strong wind on Friday and Saturday is normally a sign of the last push of wintry wind before the warmer spring weather starts to come in. In the next few days and weeks, plants and any thing green will start to come to life. It will be gorgeous time then.

Back to our visitors, we also brought them to the famous Volendam fishing village where one can take photos wearing the Dutch costume. This place is about 30 minutes by car from Amsterdam. There is also a regular bus service from Amsterdam central station to this place.
