Haarlem, like most old Dutch cities is full of monumental buildings such as this one. Located along the Spaarne canal, this water way gets a great deal of traffic both commercial and recreational vessels. I was sit up across the canal, in front of the Teyler Museum, which is reported to being Holland's, if not Europe's oldest Museum.
