We slept in and sorted through all the brochures and papers we had accumulated and put together another package to be sent home. In the afternoon we stopped at a Turkish shop and had their version of pizza, made into a roll-up and very tasty. Truus then took us to the local castle Muiderslot, built in 1296 by Count Floris V, subsequently destroyed and rebuilt in1370. The castle was built to protect the city of Muiden. We took a tour, in Dutch, but the tour guide did give us some English explanation also, and so did Truus. In 1823 the castle was considered a historical site by King Willem I in memory of the famous poet Pieter Hooft who had lived in the castle at different times during his life.
