The first time I went to this place
I was kind of young when I visited Delft the first time. I can remember taking a tour of the Delftsblauw factory. I was very impressed by it.
Now that I am not as young anymore, I would like to go back and see the cathedral and visit the grave of Willem van Oranje.

Introduction to Delft
November 20, 2006
Delft is perhaps the prettiest little town in all of Holland. The facades of the Renaissance and Gothic houses here reflect age-old beauty, and a sense of tranquillity pervades the air. Indeed, it's easy to understand why Vermeer chose to spend most of his life surrounded by Delft's gentle beauty. It remains quiet, with flower boxes and linden trees bending over its gracious canals. A good part of Holland's history is preserved in the tombs of Delft. William the Silent was assassinated in the Prinsenhof and now rests in a magnificent tomb in the Nieuwe Kerk; and every member of the House of Orange-Nassau since King Willem I has been brought here for burial as well. Delft is also the final resting place of someone named Karl Naudorff, who is suspected of being Louis XVII, dauphin of France. And two of Holland's greatest naval figures, admirals Tromp and Heyn, are entombed in the Oude Kerk.
