Cold morning, mid 40's, but high 50's in afternoon. Took a tram to city center for Mass- very traditional , Latin hymns. Ornate church which apparently escaped destruction during the religious wars, or maybe it hadn't been built then. After church a very good brunch at a cafe nearby , then another tram to the impressive Royal Palace. Walked across the Dam Square and through the Old Town to Rembrandt's house, which has been restored to how it was when he lived and worked there in the 1600's. Then back to the hotel for a break. After an Italian dinner nearby, we called it a day.
Tomorrow we get on the bike and on the road to Haarlem. Hope the weather does not challenge us.
