DELVING DEEP INTO DELFT, DOMAIN OF DELIGHTFUL BLUE/WHITE PORCELAIN AND KNOWN AS PRINCE CITY. IT WAS HERE THAT PRINCE WILLIAM OF NASSAU, FATHER OF NETHERLANDS, WAS MURDERED AND THE 2 BULLET HOLES CAN STILL BE SEEN ON THE WALLS OF PRINZENHOF MUSEUM. THE NEW CHURCH IN MARKET SQUARE IS THE FINAL RESTING PLACE FOR MANY OF HOLLAND'S MONARCHS. DELFT IS FAMOUS FOR 2 COLORS---DELFT BLUE FROM ITS PORCELAIN AND ORANGE FOR ITS CLOSE TIES TO THE HOUSE OF ORANGE, NETHERLANDS' REIGNING ROYAL FAMILY!

PRINCESS DR BECKY LEOGARDO VISITED DELFT FOR THE SECOND TIME TO BUY MORE DELFT PORCELAIN FROM HOLLAND HOUSE LOCATED IN FRONT OF THE MAIN MARKET SQUARE WITH THE SPECTACULAR 109 METRE NEW CHURCH AT ONE END AND DELFT TOWN HALL IN THE OTHER.

IT IS VERY HARD TO TAKE A BAD PHOTO OF DELFT!

EVERY CORNER SEEMS MORE INTERESTING THAN THE LAST

INCREDIBLY PRETTY AND EVER SO PHOTOGENIC

NO, THIS IS NOT A ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY GREEN ROAD BUT A CANAL COVERED WITH THICK, GREEN ALGAE! 

THIS IS THE REAL STREET! 

THE WATER IS SO STILL THE SHADOWS DO NOT MOVE AND THE CANAL LOOKS LIKE PAINTED PAVEMENT!

LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN SIMPLY WALK ACROSS THIS GREEN CARPET BUT UNLESS YOU ARE JESUS CHRIST, YOU CANNOT WALK ON WATER! OR CAN YOU?

GIRL WITH PEARL EARRING IS WORLD FAMOUS AND THIS PAINTING IS IN MAURITS HOUSE IN THE HAGUE

NOW RECREATED AS DELFT BLUE PORCELAIN TILES!

THE 109 METRE NEW CHURCH WHICH IS ACTUALLY VERY OLD AS IT DATES BACK TO 1381 BUT IT WAS BUILT OVER AN EVEN OLDER CHURCH SO IT WAS SIMPLY CALLED 'NEW CHURCH'

ELSJE BAL AND STAFF MEMBER OF HOLLAND HOUSE WHICH SELLS THE BEST SOUVENIRS AT LOWEST PRICES!
