My day trip to Utrecht wasn't exactly planned...we got on a train, had the phone number of someone there, and just went. It was nice to explore a bigger city than Zwolle, and be there for Saturday market. We explored the tallest tower in the Netherlands and saw some amazing canals and shops.
Utrecht holds some personal importance...it was where my de Haan-ness originates. It is the place where my Grandpa De Haan grew up...it is so strange to walk the streets and imagine him doing the same thing so many years ago. Although the city has changed a lot since he left for Canada, there are certain things that I am sure he remembers and that are similar to what I saw and experienced.
