On Bradford’s Trail: Crossing to the Netherlands

This is the start of a series of post from a second research trip to Europe. This time we flew into England, and took a ferry over to the Netherlands, roughly traversing the same route that the Pilgrims took when fleeing to the continent. We were there for a week, but at my rate of posting, I will probably be putting up photos for months…..

Yours truly onboard

We were there in tulip season, so had to get some classic Dutch vacation photos
Muiderslot Castle is a beautiful place without a direct connection to the Pilgrims, though it was restored in the same era
