Yestereday we took a tram ride from Delft to the beach at Scheveningen which took about 15 minutes. The beach itself is a nice sandy beach. There are loads and loads of cafes and restaurants right on the beach.

During WW2 the word Scheveningen was used as a code word because the Germans could easily learn Dutch but there was no way they could pronounce Scheveningen like the Dutch.

We then took a tram ride from Scheveningen back to den Haag. We saw the Palace and the Dutch Parliament and numerous monuments and buildings. It is a prettier city than I expected. It is full of flowers. There are huge pots everywhere filled with bright flowers.

The dutch are obsessed with everything orange for the World Cup, they wear orange clothes, orange flags are draped everything and in den Haag the fountains were spouting orange water.
