Den Haag, Netherlands Part 2 - Giving the beach another try and more wandering

By
The morning after our disaster of a trip to the beach I said okay, why don't we give this beach thing another try since it is early and not too hot yet. It was MUCH better than the day prior








Giant hotel on the beach

Signs so you know where your stuff it




We still didn't stay that long at the beach as it was just okay


Statues outside the theatre






Can't tell me what to do!



Art downtown





A urinal in the middle of the park - perfect...

Old Ministry of Justice




Mauritshuis Museum






The Knights' Hall

Fountain in Binnenhof





Water by the government buildings

Prison gate museum

Fancy vegan treats at More Pastry

Taking a break outside More

With a brownie

And a berry tart - delicious!



Noordeinde Palace



Modrian is everywhere!


Taking a break in the Palace Gardens

With fun art



Lunch at Quinta Verde, which I just looked up and they are now closed permanently :( This was super tasty!



Our hotel on the left





Waiting for our dinner foods at Vegetarian Snackbar

Milkshake

Snack plate - 3 croquettes, 3 nuggets, 2 falafel, 2 kibbuhling


And a burger with salad and fries - so tasty! We tried to get back here to try more things, but alas we did not have enough time

Can't tell Raymond what to do either!

After dinner we headed down to the Peace Palace



This was really cool - it was a peace thing and each country of the world is represented by a different stone around the edge




They had a sign with labels for the countries so you could see what they were. I've never seen anything like that before



Sun setting at the palace












Sunset over the park across from our hotel. All in all a much better day than the day prior!

Krabi Town, Thailand - Day 2

By
Our second day in Krabi town was just a half day. We had until 2pm to hang out and explore before we headed off to Phuket. We got up early and went in search of breakfast hopeful that some of the places that were closed the night prior would be open - and luckily they were! Well a lot were still closed, but the best looking place was open so it was perfect. Raymond's plate of food   And mine - only $1.25! Such a steal and super delicious. We both had rice noodles and yakisoba and ham log, and Raymond got some greens and I tried a curry looking thing with lots of weird vegetables I had never had before. It was pretty tasty, but it was a fish curry with mock fish in it and well I have never been a seafood fan so probably not my best choice. I just went by what things looked like since I don't read Thai.  After lunch we went to explore Wat Kaew Korawaram up on the hill.  There was this abandoned park along the stairway up to the temple with wild animal statues
