Trip to Noordwijk

Last week I spend some time in Holland visiting family in my home town Noordwijk as well as friends in Leiden and Haarlem. Although the change of weather (around 19 degrees, cloudy and drizzling) was quite a shock coming from Spain it was also nice to get away from the heat in Madrid.

Anyway, had a great time, ate my share of herring, patatje met (french fries) and kroketten, i.e the typical Dutch fast food which I find difficult to resist, and had a few beers with friends.

In between i managed to take a few shots which i included below. They are all available in Flickr as well.
