Grand Tour, Day 20: The Hague

Artur, Paulina, Nina, my mom, and I went to a Columbian Café for breakfast. My mom Paulina and Nina walked there, but Artur and I rode bikes!

The ride took ten minutes. It was thrilling because I've only ever ridden on the streets once, and that was in Ada. I was a little scared that a car would come, and I would not stay straight and would crash into the car or into the sidewalk. My mom said the Netherlands is one of the top biking countries in the world, so it was pretty cool that I got to actually ride a bike on the streets there.

At the cafe, I got blackberry flavored juice. It did not taste good. I also got watermelon lollipop with watermelon gum in it. It was good!

On the way back home Artur took me to a place where we saw horses. One of the horses was named Prancer.  Artur and I got in trouble because you were not supposed to have bikes around there.

When we got home and my dad and Pablo joined us, we went to the beach.

Artur and I rode the bikes there!


I swam for a little bit, but the water was too cold.

When we all got out of the water, we buried Pablo in the sand. He stayed there for a long time. We poured water on him to keep him cool. Finally, he got tired, and we helped him out.


After Pablo got out of the sand, Artur and I rode our bikes up two steep hills. Then we went down one big hill, and I almost did not stop in time. I was scared I was going to crash into the two ladies that were standing there talking in front of me, but luckily I didn't.


Then we had to catch up with the rest of our group. I could not make it up the big hill that we went down, so I had to get off and push my bike up.

After riding for a while, we found my dad, my mom, Pablo, Nina and Paulina. They took the tram home, and Artur and I rode bikes back home.

On the way home, Artur took me by the port.

Once we got home, we ate dinner. Then Nina, Pablo and I played on my mom’s phone.

Here is a list of my favorite things we did today:

1. Bike riding with Artur
2. Swimming and burying Pablo at the beach
3. Playing on my mom’s phone
