They had a carnival there, so the boys did a couple rounds on the rides...
We found the Corrie Ten Boom house and museum for the following day since it was already closed and we had some yummy waffles for dinner.
Saturday morning we came back to the Corrie Ten Boom house and museum for the tour. This sign gives a little information. If you've never read 'The Hiding Place' by Corrie Ten Boom, I highly recommend it. Corrie and her family hid Jews in their home during the occupation during WWII. They were arrested and ultimately sent to concentration camps in Germany where Corrie survived to tell her story of faith, love and forgiveness.
This is inside the living room of the house.

Inside Corrie's room was the hiding place where they hid Jews and other members of the Dutch underground. The boys in the hiding place.

Inside the hiding place. Not very big for the 6 people that would ultimately spend 2 days here until they could be evacuated when the Ten Booms were arrested.
Our tour guide. She is holding the Alpina watch sign that the Ten Booms used as a sign that it was safe for the underground workers to enter the home.
A menorah and the family Bible.
We enjoyed the Corrie Ten Boom house tour, the guide did a great job of sharing the faith of Corrie and her family and their trust in God even when facing death and persecution.
The Grote Kerk or Saint Bavokerk on the central market square in Haarlem.
Windmill de Adriaan in Haarlem.
We really only took time to visit the Cologne Cathedral, a large gothic church in the center of town.
In front of the doors of the cathedral.
Inside the cathedral.
Going up the tower...Piper's free ride up...
The view over the Rhine River from the tower.
View of the Cathedrals intricate Gothic details.
The front of the Cologne Cathedral.
