Scheveningen

The weather was supposed to be sunny but cool today. After eating a snack and coffee at our apartment, we headed out to the tram to pay a visit to the Beach one last time. The 45-minute ride on a jerky tram and coffee on top of jetlag proved too much for Grammy and her stomach. She was quite nauseous by the time we arrived at Scheveningen.


The wind was cold, but the boys still managed to have a great time making "cakes" and building sand castles. We found lots of shells and teeny tiny sand dollars (smaller than a dime). The beach isn't groomed in the winter (see the big sand cliff behind Grammy) and all of the restaurants and beach gear are put away, so the beach looks very different. There were more people out today than when we came with Aunt Julie in September.

We ate lunch at a pannekoeken restaurant and then played a short time longer on the beach. Instead of subjecting Grammy to a long tram ride, we rode the tram to the Hollandspoor (HS) train station and took a train back to Delft. Hopefully, mom's sickness was just due to the coffee and jetlag.
