The Hague

Short day trip with my girlfriends Sara and Ilaria and my friend Ahmad. This city, 700,000 inhabitants is quite big but I did not like it to much. In front of the parlament the lake was dirty! With old mattress inside!!! What does it mean?!? The city has a very strange coa of arms:
However the castle Binenhof in the center where the queen has her official receiving room is very nice:

I also enjoy very much the Mauritshuis museum where you can find the Monna Lisa of North Europe, the Girl with a Pearl Earring (Het Meisje met de Parel) which is one of Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer's masterwork:
