Groningen

The National Rail Service had a special ticket sale.  For  €17 you get a Day ticket that you can use all  day.  The regular price for a round trip to Groningen is €47.60, so quite a savings.  We are retired you know, all that fixed income sob story stuff.  We got up early (for us) and set out  for Groningen; it was a two hour ride.

As I mentioned in an earlier post there were two paintings  from the Stockholm National Museum on display at the Groninger Museum in the Nordic Art Exhibition.  Well we found a third painting on the list of 1001 paintings from another museum, so this was a bonus.  After seeing all the paintings we had a nice lunch in the town center.  We got home at about 18:30, a full day for us.

Oh by the way, big news in The Netherlands!  Queen Beatrix abdicated today in favor of her son who will become King on April 30.
