We like to discover things.

We wanted to discover Naarden

and het Arsenaal.

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

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.
