Messed up
Thursday 14 August. Van Lennep and Van Hogendorp walk via Soest to Soestdijk, where they enjoy a delicious meal with acquaintances. Then they visit the palace that was renovated in 1815 by order of William II and his Anna Paulowna. The couple was partly inspired by the Tsar's Palace in Pavlovsk. Van Lennep is not charmed by it: "We visited the palace, which seemed well furnished to us, but we found that it had been miserably renovated and therefore ruined."
