122 Days in Europe: Back in Nature!

Day 106: Het Loo & Museum Kröller-Müller

Today I woke up pretty early to get showered and ready to go on another adventure. I am going to be honest, I wasn't very excited about this trip, but it turned out to be one of my favorite outings as a group. We got our own private bus and all of us slept on the hour and a half bus ride and I woke up to see trees all around me. I was really excited about this, but that wasn't the main reason we were there, and that was to see the palace. This wasn't my favorite, but the symmetrical english gardens were pretty. Brittany and I ran around the place taking model pictures and then after this we headed to the Kroller-Muller museum that was surrounded by a ton of wilderness. In fact this was the best part. We went outside to see the statues that were in the back of this museum, but then Brittany and I went on a hike, as modern sculptures really are not our favorite thing. After this we rode bikes around the place for about 10 kilometers or so. We really got a workout in! We went through all different kinds of ecosystems from prairie, to desert! My favorite thing about this place was the wide open spaces. It was like being at home. After we got done with biking Brittany and I had about a half hour before it was time to get back on the bus so we ran through the museum and saw as many Van Goghs as possible. Brittany got to see her favorite and I was just excited to see all of them. This museum has the second largest collection of his paintings in the world. After running though the place we headed to the bus and rode home, passing out again. Finally we got back and Brittany, Steph and I went to get kapsalons for dinner and then hung out and ate those. Man am I gonna miss kapsalons. After dinner it was time for settling down and hitting the hay.

These are not in any order sorry!
