Wednesday 10 October

Last day in Holland, for now. Visited the Castle Country Park as it's a beautiful and warm autumn day. I had to pay an admission fee, which is not required in winter, but is in summer. It was fairly busy with elderly people taking a stroll around the place; I was probably the youngest in the park this afternoon. There are many water features, including the Tricky Fountains (which are triggered to soak you through when you break an infra-red beam), Neptunus and a waterfall and many ponds. It was a perfectly still afternoon, which allowed for many reflections of the trees and the blue sky. The leaves are on the turn, which made for an even more magical event.
