We left Amsterdam this morning and drove to Delft. Delft is a picturesque little town famous for the blue and white pottery, Delftware. Also famous for Johannes Vermeer the artist born in Delft and buried in the Old Church, Oude Kirk along with all the kings and queens beginning with William of Orange.


We visited the 13th-century Old Church, the 15th-century New Church and browsed the many shops selling Delftware. We wandered around the town through the market squares and along the canals to the Botanical Gardens.
