The jewel of the day was visiting Delf porcelain factory. Excellent pieces! The historical city center was packed as they were having a marching band competition. We were amazed about how the community showed up to support them while it was raining. We enjoyed lunch at one of the local restaurants there. In the afternoon we visited The Hague. I appreciate our tourist guide who made time for us for a quick visit to the Mauritshuis museum to see the Girl…”
