Haarlem

We took a train to The Hague and changed to Haarlem. We went straight to the heart of town and walked around and photographed the cathederal. A woman approached me to let me know that they had a postcard of one of the details I was trying to photograph.

This is the famous Muller organ, one of the largest in Europe;

We walked to the Hals museum but it was closed, so we walked to a newer kerk (church) and then had a light lunch and trained home. It was rush hour so Igor and I had to stand.
