Naarden Vesting en Jan des Bouvrie
We love an adventure.
We like to discover things.
We wanted to discover Naarden
and het Arsenaal.
We thought the trip to Naarden would be fun. We were told getting there would be easy. We like that 1 metro and 2 bus rides later – one of which had to be hailed from the side of a high way – we were undeterred, still committed to the goal. It was about 20 minutes into our walk when
things
started to
look up a bit.
We were finally approaching
the walled city
of Naarden
a star-shaped vesting
with
a lovely
city hall
and we continued on until we reached the collection of shops
that make up
Het Arsenaal
Moooi at Jan des Bouvries
where we could explore
its unique setting
and around every corner find a surprise,
especially the surprise of a courtyard
where we almost
forgot
we were still in Holland.
