Browse and shop for Belgian lace, chocolates and other treats, then enjoy a delicious dinner and pleasant night in Brugge. Delft Porcelain Returning to Holland, we take our morning break in the restored medieval city of Middleburg. Our drive continues through the watery province of Zeeland and along the Delta Works, a massive system of dams, dikes and drainage canals that protect against flooding. In Delft we stop at the Royal Delftware Factory to watch skilled artisans create the blue and white porcelain. Our last three nights in Holland are in The Hague, the seat of government for the Netherlands.
Dinner is at a local restaurant.
This afternoon we visit a tulip farm, where we learn about and shop for the flowers. Later, a countryside drive brings us to Zaanse Schans, a village established as an open-air museum. Traditional buildings and restored windmills abound. Visit a restored windmill, watch wooden shoes being made, and shop for handicrafts, souvenirs and gifts. This evening we dine at the elegant Kurhaus Hotel in Scheveningen on Holland's scenic coast.
