After visiting Keukenhof, the Gnome took a short trip to Delft for the afternoon. Here is in The Hague waiting for a train:
There are no discounts on tickets for Gnomes. Even though they are small creatures, they still have to pay full price for a ticket. It was something like 3.6 Euros for the ticket.
Delft is a very charming little town, with some very old buildings interspersed amongst modern ones. The Gnome visited “Oude Kerk” (Old Church) which dates from the 1200′s as you can see from the sign near the entrance:
Here are some views of the church:
After visiting the church, the Gnome did a walking tour. There are many famous sites along the canals. The Gnome visited the site where Anthony Von Leeuwenhoek used to work. This was the scientist who made major improvements to the optical microscope and was the first to observe single-celled organisms. Here is the placard:
Here are some views from the walking tour:
The second half of the walking tour got rained out, so the Gnome hung out in various shops and got caught up on blogging.
