Around lunchtime, Liz took us to Leiden, so we could visit the Rijksmuseum again. We found an English pub to have lunch at, and chose the pie and chips, (small serve). Note the HP sauce, and the malt vinegar for the chips!
As we were walking towards the Rijksmuseum , two elderly ladies approached me speaking German. I was so pleased to actually understand them, they wanted to know where the Rijksmuseum was! I love the challenge of being in a country where different languages are spoken.
At the Rijksmuseum , we visited the Egypt display. This is enormous, there is an incredible amount of antiquities from ancient Egypt.
This is a a coffin of a more ordinary person, note how the skeleton is broken up.
Not only were humans mummified, animals were as well. This one is a mummy of a crocodile.
I caught my bus at the Leiden central station, by the time I left it was freezing, the wind must have had a chill factor of zero. TRO went off to the pub to meet Liz and watch another game of football.
Aysha cooked us a most delicious meatloaf for dinner tonight, with the last of the mud cake for dessert.
