We woke up early afternoon, finding it was raining outside. We guessed correctly the rain would ruin our plans to visit Den Haag. Instead, we took the day slow and locally. G took me around the corner to a local bookstore, which had tons of local Dutch books. Once my Dutch improves, I plan on picking up a nature book about the area wildlife. We walked into the shopping street and had sandwiches at a store named Hema. The rain was infrequent and light, but the wind remained powerful throughout the day. Instead of taking the bus, G drove us into Den Haag. I managed a short visit to see his office, which is quite classy. I had asked to visit Madurodam, but the rain ruined the chance to visit. We drove by it anyways. At dinnertime, we stopped by the Pancake restaurant I visited on several other trips. Despite the heavy dinner, we decided to ride bikes around Noordwijk. Darkness was beginning to fall, but there was plenty of light to cycle.
