Then, we headed straight for Huis Ten Bosch, stopping only for a delicious lunch of ramen. Huis Ten Bosch is a themed park, a really beautiful one at that, and it literally felt liked we had stepped into a tiny European town.
The sights were amazing.
They had a lot of teddy bears.
Including an enormous one.
And a replica of the pirate ship from One Piece.
Has anyone seen that cartoon? (I haven’t.)
On The High Seas
On our trip, we took three or four ferry boat rides.
One was large enough for our tour bus to drive on. There was also one that took us on a tour of 99 islands. Despite the name, there are more than 200 islands. Recognize this one?
