Leiden

---

Yesterday we went to Leiden. We rode our bikes to central station and caught a double decker train. It was a fair way to Leiden, but as it was an express it only took half an hour.

When we got to Leiden we went straight to the tourist info where we got a map and decided to go on the Leiden Loop. The Leiden Loop is a two hour walk which takes you past the best spots in Leiden. There were a lot of cobbled streets, grachts* and brugs*.

Along the way we stoped off at a museum of antiquities. There they had lots of information on Egyptian and Roman History which included many real mummies and hieroglyphics from thousands of years ago. They also had lots of old statues from Roman times.

We enjoyed the longer train trip home as we were tired from all the walking.
