You can leave on Wednesday and be back on Sunday 🚐 🏕️
The Hague, the “city by the sea,” is home to permanent masterpieces by five Dutch masters: Vermeer, Rembrandt, Mondriaan, Escher, and Mesdag. You can view these exclusive collections across its world-class museums, including the Mauritshuis, Kunstmuseum, Museum Voorlinden, Escher in the Palace, and the Prison Gate Museum.
Well, we decided to do none of the above… 😎 We traded the itineary and loved every second of the beach air, sand between our toes, salt on our skin, cycling to beach bars, viewing beach art, BBQs, sea food…

Beach bar stopp 😎Lobster Roll 🦀The Hague, the International City of Peace and Justice, hosts the International Criminal Court (ICC). As the first permanent international tribunal, the ICC prosecutes individuals for genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and aggression. Given current global conflicts, its role here is more relevant than ever. Peace now! 🕊️ Taking in the views along the way 🚲 Did I mentioned the wonderful beaches? We stayed right behind the dunes.

Cycling next to the sea 🙂SpringHaving a rest next to the cycle path 🐮 Dunes. As far as the eye can see 🫶🏻Bikes first 🚲 The HagueStraight, flat & endless. Good for me, cycled 20km 💪🏻 😁Sometimes all you need is a wee blanket 🐶 or turning on a bit of heat in the van 🚐
Rainy afternoons are perfect for a nap or reading. Starter: tomato soup 🍅🌶️Followed by Spaghetti & pesto. Tonights dinner was inside the van. Thats how 11pm looked like. #summertime 🌞Good Night! Slept heavenly 😴Good Morning ☕️ The sun is back and for us it’s time to go 🌞
We loved the basic, back-to-nature activities, and the weather turned out much better than expected – lucky us!
Bye bye for now 👋
Our travel was slow. We truly enjoyed the wee van weekend getaway in the Netherlands. The campground was again fantastic. The van & the dog are sandy, our faces slightly sunburnt, just a sign for a great weekend away. Now we are on the road with plenty of other camper vans…
Ihr habt alles reingepackt, was in der kurzen Zeit möglich war. Wunderschöne Bilder und Ideen. Klasse!
