56. Europe Bicycle Trip--Day 18--The Puppet Show

The "Oude"town hall
Hello there!
On the side of the town hall high up on the wall are puppets and 2 minutes after the hour there are chimes and a puppet show to symbolize thr granting of the town rights by Count Floris V in 1272. I made a nice video also.

Sint Jan Kerk-the longest church in the Netherlands--is too long to get in a photo.

We had a nice lunch at an outside cafe on this street full of flowers.
WE hurried back to the apartment taking a short cut through the train station as we had another visit scheduled in Stolwijk  for the afternoon.
I have never seen so many bicycles in my life as in the Netherlands.
The hospital down the street from the apartment.
