Arnhem--Het Loo, November 20, 2010

Our ship left Amsterdam late last night and docked early this morning in Arnhem, still in The Netherlands, but now on the main channel of the Rhine. After breakfast we took the bus to Het Loo, the castle of the Dutch monarchs. It is now a state property, used mostly for tourists, but also used for official state events.
