Saturday, February 6th, 2010:

Today is the third weekend, we are spending in Holland. The first Friday afternoon we were woozy and slow and the second one was the big day for us, as we got married, and the third one was the day, again we came back from The Hague.

I am wondering how fast time travels, and how busy we are with things, which needed to be done.
To me always my trips and holidays’ time has been the busiest part of my routine life, even more than the time we are working.

We are going to pack today, again for the next 2 weeks, for our honeymoon vacation.
Actually, till now everything’s has been going fine, but some days seem so boring and tiring.
The Hague trip was perfect on its own. We booked a hotel near the beach and stayed there for 2 nights.
It was the second time that I was visiting The Hague, but actually the first great impression. Last trip we dropped off The Hague to reach to the embassy and visited Meduradam Museum.
In fact, this trip we booked a nice, cozy, homely hotel near the beach and coincidentally very close to the embassy as well. I was very impressed with the tram and Metro line which was so efficient and moreover the city appearance was nice, organised and so clean.

I didn’t like that much Amsterdam.
In fact, so many tourists first hit the capital, but for me once in one day tour visiting or maybe some other times have shortly visit will be more than enough. We were talking about houses and living conditions between the capital and government capital (The Hague).
It was so tangible that Hague is more tranquil, organised, and efficient; moreover, not crowded with hasty groups of tourists grumbling in the streets shops on and off and throw you a price and you might be ripped off easily, and things and rubbish reveal in the pavements, but I must confess Amsterdam is a beautiful city on its own.

We were lucky that our hotel was in a resort area which we could have view of the sea and walk in the beach and other side we could walk into the woods and natural parks which were massive and impressive.
Wednesday, we hopped into the tram and visit Iran embassy which was not the more terrific things you could do in our holiday, and as usual things in Iran start with “No” answer we were trapped as well.
I should say luckily, we had Islamic marriage and Wijbren converted to Islam but still 2 more documents which are no criminal record and health certificate were not ready, so we got the answer, we have to register there not in any other countries’ embassies. That was a sweet solid answer.

We are hoping if the police state result gets clear after our vacation we might hit The Hague one more time, to do official things in embassy and finish the long story.

In The Hague we have another National Museum, so alike the one in the Amsterdam. In fact we hit the Museum and it was established in the storeys and the paintings mostly were from Wimeir, one of local artist’s in 17 centuries in Holland.
Mostly the paintings were covered by oil in a very Dutch atmosphere with gray clouds and dark fields, covered by snow, stormy North Sea or big, heavy Dutch dinners and parties with long robes and dressers and some were black and white or Sepia color sketches, which were nice on its own.
We do enjoy staying in The Hague, admittedly.
