    Basilica of the Holy Blood (Basiliek van het Heilig Bloed)

    This time the morning of the new day begins not with breakfast, but with a visit to the Basilica of the Holy Blood.
    The Basilica of the Holy Blood is a two-tiered church, which was built in the first half of the XII century by order of Count Thierry of Alsace of Flanders. In the middle of the XIII century a vial was brought to the church in which, according to legend, dried blood drops of Christ were preserved.

    Bonifacius Bridge (Bonifaciusbrug)

    Our next stop is this bridge, which offers a wonderful view of the Groothuse Museum. This house, which looks more like a castle, used to be owned by the Groothus family, which had a monopoly on the sale of spices used in the production of beer.
    In history, the Groothus house became part of the history when during the internecine war of the Scarlet and White Rose, the family gave the English King Edward IV shelter.
    It is this fact that Ken mentions, to which Ray replies that he can't stand history and that he doesn't care about the past. The heroes come in the evening to see the museum building, but they do not go inside.
    Unfortunately, the museum is now closed and you can only look at it from the outside.
