Breda

The final day trip we took in Holland was to Breda, a beautiful city in the southern part of the country. We went with Ross' parents and rented bicycles and toured through the gorgeous and immaculate farmland in rural Holland for about 3 or 4 hours.

Amidst the farms would be small towns, a castles and the odd chapel. It was so pretty, and tranquil and ... perfect.

The town of Breda itself is really nice. If I was to live in Holland long term, I would probably consider setting up there; it's small, but lively with amazing restaurants and shops. It also doesn't seem to be as crowded as The Hague, Rotterdam and Amsterdam. The Museum of Graphic Design just opened there, so if you're in Holland and care about design, then you might end up in Breda.

If you get a chance, rent a bike!
