Walking in Haarlem 1 July 2012

On the 1st of July I met with four of my Netherlands friends, three of which date back to our student days. We came together at the Haarlem house of Robert and Rosemarie, and went for a walk, guided by Haarlem born and bred Robert. You can follow the walk using Google maps. We started from Santpoortplein, but the first pictures were taken on Schotersingel.

I do not know which street or which church this is, but it is near the Toneelschuur

Bakenessergracht

This is probably the ‘Groenebuurt’ leading from Bakenessergracht to the Begijnhof

Begijnhof (Beguinage),  Église Walonne
