Sunday, Tamara and I went on a 45 km bike ride along the numerous bike paths around the Hague. The ride began in a very boutique neighborhood similar to Washington's Potomac area. Sunny and hot, we shared the paths with legions of fellow bikers. The urban setting quickly gives way to a more pastoral landscape set off by old and new windmills/turbines. We biked through a very small town (Voorschoten) and past some recreational man made lakes (Vlietland) connected by canal to the Hague. Huge estates can be seen in the vicinity of the Hague. The largest (Duivenvoorde) was built in 1632. (Third picture from the top.)

Very nice pictures ! Good to see what the country side over there looks like. Glad to see it's not all shipyards and train depots :)
