Day Four. Panorama Mesdag. International Court. Madurodam museum. Beach

This day we went to DenHaag, it was about 2 hour trip, but the weather had changed maybe 4 times from storm to sun shining.
So, in the city we were divided into two groups. One group went to Panorama Mesdag, another to International Court.

Panorama Mesdag

It’s museum of panorama
is a cylindrical painting (also known as a Cyclorama) more than 14 metres high and about 40 metres in diameter (120 metres in circumference). But before going to museum, we walked in the city, DenHaag is remarkable town with its special architecture and unique atmosphere. We saw residence of the monarch and many monuments, so city left its impression of a typical European medieval town, but with his entourage.
Panorama Mesdag is not only a panorama, but also more modern art. Which left mixed feelings about itself, sometimes I felt that I had lost touch with reality. When you are looking to this art, you may feel like it's all reality, not a picture. One small detail brought great pleasure to Russian students, It was Russian speaking guide, So we got many treats.

                                                                                               International Court

One group visited International Hague Court.  It was such a good experience. We saw how the Court works and what are the functions of it. We had an excursion inside and in the middle part of it we saw the main Judger of the Court. He gave us a very big and interesting speech about his work and about The Court. Then we continued our excursion and saw how does the real process go. It was really interesting. After visiting The Court we got some time to enjoy the city and make some photos. In our opinion it was a nice day and now we know a lot of interesting things about The Hague Court.

After attending these two placed we headed for another museum together. This museum is called Madurodam which is  miniature park and tourist attraction. It represents  model replicas of famous Dutch castles, public buildings, and large industrial projects as found at various locations in the country. Madurodam is called a city, but is more than that. It shows the most important characteristics parts of the Netherlands. There you feel yourself like a King Kong because buildings are just of 1:25 scale.

As the end of our saturated day went to the beach of North Sea. Dutch people said, that if there was a good weather we could see Britain, but it was not possible. But despite this small disappointment, we have been enjoying a stroll on the beach, at the time, as in our Homeland was still snow.Also we took a lot of pictures and just relaxed. It was a kind of secluded place where we could just sit, allow a warm wind to blow through our heads, think about our quickly rushing life.

After such an eventful day, we are almost all very tired, so everyone was asleep on the bus.
