The Netherlands

Posted in Travel on Monday, August 9th, 2010 at 4:56 pm 1 Comments

The Netherlands is a great country with so much to offer.  Though the country is flat with hardly a hill in sight, it boasts beautiful landscapes adorned with windmills, canals, and tulip fields.  Windmills and tulip fields are scattered everywhere and if you visit at the right time of year (April-May), you can witness the blooming of the tulips.  The cities are spectacular and the Dutch do a great job in preserving the old buildings while constructing modern ones.  Rotterdam is a great example of contemporary architecture at its finest and the cubicle houses with the pencil shaped tower adds an interesting skyline to the city.  It is one of the busiest ports in the world.  Amsterdam, with its 1,280 bridges connecting a maze of canals, is filled with great museums and coffee shops.  Take a stroll through the Red Light district to witness one of the oldest professions, just be careful not to get caught taking pictures.  This country has plenty to offer to the locals and tourists alike.  I am currently living here with my partner and I’m already adapting.  My Dutch is getting better.  Tot ziens!

  1. I love that first picture. I think I found your old website a while back and we had some emails sent back and forth, but I could be mistaken.
