scheveningen

It's a nice sunny warm weekend in Holland (Finally!) On Sunday, we decided to go to the "beach"...i call this a "beach" since beaches in the Philippines are way better, but for Holland, it was actually nice.
We went to Den Haag, to go to this popular area called Scheveningen. I was here last year during winter time and there was absolutely no one there at all (because it was so cold!) but today it was packed with people (too much people actually), but i felt at home. I still had some culture shock to see so many women are sunbathing topless! It not my first time to see them, but usually women who sunbath topless go to a more secluded part of the beach, but here, they were out everywhere, not minding that there were children around playing, tourists walking, boys ogling. I guess its just natural and normal here.
Afterwards we went cycling towards to whole coast of scheveningen, towards the dunes and nature reserve area--up until the hoek van holland. we cycled for about 2 hours...i'm really enjoying cycling here in holland (even if my butt and legs get tired). Overall it was a wonderful day to be out!
