    I am so thrilled to run across this video. My great grandfather is the Rev. John Robinson who is memorialized on the many plaques you showed on Pieterskerk (St. Peter's Church) where he is buried. He is considered to be the Pastor to the Pilgrims. He is memorialized in a painting that hangs in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington. The painting depicts him and the Pilgrims on the ship ready to depart for America in 1620. Unfortunately he died in Holland in1625 and never lived to see America but his widow and son came in 1629. I visited Leiden and his grave inside the church. Again Thanks. I loved the city where he was also a University Professor. I also found local people who clearly remember the story of him.

      In the summer more people are eating and drinking outside but Leiden attracts very few visitors. It is never very busy. In July the sun sets at approximately 22:00, that gives a very different vibe.

    Dear Gabriel, thank you for your videos from the Netherlands (Amsterdam and Leiden).. They are very beautiful. I lived and worked in the Netherlands for 8 1/2 years in Hilversum and Amsterdam. I like the dutch
    people very much, they are different to the germans, they have another livestyle, open and free.
    I am happy, that my son is studying there - in Maastricht.
    Next time when you go to NL visit Maastricht, which is a nice small city in Limburg with a lot of international
    students and a beautiful surrroundings. Brussels and Antwerp are not far away. Aachen in Germany are close as well.
    Happy Christmas, a happy NEW YEAR with exciting tours next years, love Ulrike Grefe
