We stayed in Leiden,

half an hour train journey away from Amsterdam.

Leiden is such a beautiful town

peaceful and not so crowded.

We walked along the canals,

saw typical Dutch houses and

we visited a Windmill.

Rembrandt was born in Leiden.

In the picture on the left stood his birth house, it was demolished.

The house on the right was his school

where he learnt Latin and Greek as a boy.

 
 "Try to put well in practice 
what you already know; 
and in so doing, 
you will in good time, 
discover the hidden things 
which you now inquire about."

Quote attributed to Rembrandt

Leiden is worth a visit!
