A worthwhile stretch of the legs

Hideously early start, but the journey is fine. Get to the company where I'm working (in a place called 's Gravelands) and spend the day meeting loads of new people and generally getting on with stuff. Their building and its grounds are stunning.

After work, I head for my hotel. It's in Bussum, and although it looks quite an unassuming area, I head out for a walk - only to discover this is only a half an hour away. The Vesting at Naarden is such an amazing, improbable-looking place, a walled town entirely surrounded by water: I just wish I'd had longer to explore it.
