Today started really rough because we had to get up early. We toured the Peace Palace. The Peace Palace is where international disputes are settled. I really liked that many countries had given gifts to make the Peace Palace more beautiful. My favorite one was the fountain of seals and polar bears which was a gift from Turkey. I also liked the statue there that was made from melted weapons.
No pictures were allowed inside except at the fountain.
A bad thing that happened at the Peace Palace? I tripped on the stairs and cut my leg open. There was a lot of bleeding and no paper towels in the bathroom. I didn't have any band aids either. I had to use my extra sock to stop the bleeding and thankfully one of the leaders had band aids. It's going to leave a scar so that I can always remember the Peace Palace.
Next we drove to a beach where it was so beautiful and perfect. I got my shorts all wet and wrote this in the sand.
Lunch was a picnic. We drove to a Dutch windmill park and went on a short bicycle ride to our picnic spot.

We played soccer with some local players. It was 4 v. the 44 of us. We won, 2-0. They told us that the previous group had lost. I loved it here!
Last for today, a drive to Bruges, Belgium. I can't wait for waffles and chocolate!
