After nearly missing the bus, I took a 40 minute drive to the east to go to the Apenheul. It's a large open area dedicated to monkeys/primates, with most of the monkeys allowed to go free throughout the park. The highlight for me was when a monkey hopped on my back and climbed all over me. Pictures of that will be forthcoming, when they get sent to me. For now you'll just have to view me acting like a monkey by the Orangutans.
Afterwords we went to the Kroller Muller Museum. The bus driver dropped us out at the gate 5 kilometers away from the museum. To get there we rented bikes and biked up the road straight to the museum. After spending a couple hours looking at the pieces of art, including a fun walk through the rain to view the outside sculptures, I decided to spend my last hour looking for a castle I had seen a sign for.
Biking without a clue for where I was going, I jutted out about 15 minutes from the only road I knew until I stumbled upon this scene.
Unfortunately, I tried a "shortcut" to get back to the bus. 45 minutes later of frantic peddling and exploring nearly all of whatever natural park we were at, I made it back. The lesson learned: one should actually look up the name of where they came from, so if you do get lost, you can find your way back. I now leave you with baby ducks.
Update 7/9/07: I now have the pics of the monkey on me.
