Voorburg, Den Haag, the Netherlands

The destination was Den Haag. The hotel was in Voorburg, a town in South Holland, a suburb of Den Haag, and about 18 km from Rotterdam. A few minutes walk away from the hotel is the historical shopping centre of Voorburg - a district of small boutiques and restaurants. Nothing spectacular, all very backwater. It is so nondescript that years later one would struggle to remember the place, apart perhaps from the dreadful meal at the hotel, where they served laksa using spaghetti noodles.
