Netherlands

by tompt - last update: Jun 8, 2006

16 million people on that little peace of earth

cows in a real dutch landscape
Netherlands is a small but busy country. 16 million people call it their home. Most of the country lies below the sealevel. Water is present everywhere. Sailing on the lakes, enjoying our sandy beaches (along the entire coastline), it are popular things to do.
And when it is raining there are many museums in the cities, like the van Gogh museum in Amsterdam.

The best city in the world... Amsterdam


People who are born in Amsterdam have a special attitude. Not only is Amsterdam in their eyes the best city in the world, but also the people from Amsterdam are the best! They even call everybody who is not from there īboerenī (farmers).
Are they right? Judge for yourself on our Amsterdam page. (And donīt ask Tom, as he is born there!)

Small and boring......Noordeinde

Noordeinde is the small village where we live. As you can see on our Noordeinde page: nothing to see and nothing to do there!

But you are always welcome......

Visit in the spring and enjoy the colors of the flowering bulbs. Fields with tulips and narcissus or other flowers will greet you !
