Today's hash was right in the centre of The Hague. Usually when that happens it's inside someone's house or office and inaccessible to the general public.

Expedition

Today's hash was right in the centre of The Hague. Usually when that happens it's inside someone's house or office and inaccessible to the general public. But today the point was outside on the street, between the buildings of the Supreme Court, the Ministry of Finance and what used to be the US embassy. Kat and I decided to go there after dinner. We got on our bikes and rode for about 30 minutes, first along the Vliet canal and then through the city. When we arrived at our destination however, we found that a cable-laying company had fenced off the area around the hash to store their equipment. With no way to get to the point we just took a few pictures and went on our way again.
