Eindhoven; Sunday, 02 November, 2014

A chaotic and poorly organised breakfast (hotel was full to capacity and had issued guests with time slots for breakfast, which clearly hadn’t worked as there was still a 20 minute wait just for a table when I arrived at my scheduled slot!), and then it was off to the station to head out of town to the nearby city of ‘s-Hertogenbosch (or Den Bosch).

As it had been a late breakfast, by the time I reached Den Bosch it was already early afternoon, so after a quick cup of coffee in a café by the canals in the city centre I went for a long wander round the city.

I stopped off at the Cathedral and had a look round, before heading a short distance further on to the former church that has now been converted into a museum to the town’s most famous painter son – Harmonious Bosch.

The museum is very well presented, making use of the tower of the former church to offer stunning views over the city and an introduction to both the town and the man.

In the end I spent so long in the museum that I was in danger of having to be kicked out at closing time.

I headed back to the market square and decided to have dinner here, before heading back to the station to get a later train back to Eindhoven and a final night cap before turning in.
