Sunday in The Hague and Scheveningen

Sunday morning, we woke up and Bryan and Dan headed back to Rotterdam and Meg was sick, so the plans for the day were kind of up in the air. Sarvesh and I slept in a little and took our time getting ready. We decided to still do the Escher Museum in The Hague and go out to the beachy area of Scheveningen.

The Escher Museum is very cool and I recommend seeing it if you are ever here. M.C. Escher was a graphical artist that made prints that seem impossible... like optical illusions. You've probably seen some of his works before. Here are a few that I liked:

Reptiles



Hand with Reflecting Sphere



Drawing Hands



Waterfall



They used to have a virtual reality section where you wear a headset and watch videos of Escher's work "come to life", but they changed it into a theater type room with a wrap-around movie screen... it actually made me kind of motion sick to be in there, but it was very interesting.



After the museum, we took the tram to Scheveningen... which is a beachside resort area just outside of The Hague. We got there close to sunset.



Here is picture of the pier. There is a casino at the end and a bungy jump and game room.



We ate pannenkoeken (crepes) and poffiterjes at the Pannenkoekenhuis. Then, we stopped in at Crazy Pianos, a dueling pianos type place, for a quick beer. One of the guys on the two pianos was from Detriot, Michigan and noticed that Sarvesh had his Michigan sweatshirt on and played the Michigan fight song for us.
