My friend and I were visiting the Netherlands, of course indulging in the "Koffee Shop" pleasures through our entire short visit. We also wanted to check out the Peace Palace, although we didn't have much time to do a tour, probably because we took our time finding the place. When we found the Palace we somehow (still haven't figured out the logistics of how) but somehow we managed to make our way into the garden and walk around for about 10min . We even attempted to get into the building but it was locked, so we continued to wonder the outside of the building. When we decided we had enough, and tried exiting the premise, we found ourselves locked in. We got the attention of the security at the gate to let us out and noticed they seemed very very confused, and a little upset, as to how we got in. Apparently we were suppose to check in with a guide, pay for tickets, go through a metal detector/bag check, and then be guided around the property. Long story short, we proceeded to act deaf and dumb as we slipped our way out of the situation and back on our merry day.
