NETHERLANDS, HOLLAND

Land Of Water, Land Of Tulips, Windy Windmills, Cleverly Crafted Clogs

Wow, such a BIG clog! (Am I in Giant Land?). Photo taken at a well known clog making shop. I definitely can't walk with it...


Above, a big windmill and a tiny me. Can you spot the narrowest house in Amsterdam? House (third from left) was the narrowest in Amsterdam when I was there. (according to the tour guide)




Fun on and near the water in Holland
Much of Holland is water. Few countries have such an extensive system of rivers, canals, lakes and sea inlets. Holland has 4,400 kilometres of navigable waterway, so it is a paradise for watersports enthusiasts. There is no other country in the world where it is so easy to travel by boat from the centre of town into the heart of the countryside, and where you can experience such a unique combination of urban bustle and rural quiet.
