The Netherlands - briefly summerized by a simple B

The Netherlands are located in Western Europe. It is bordered by the North Sea to the north and west, Belgium to the south, and Germany to the east.
The North Sea, especially the Oosterschelde is very important for both countries, but the historical importance and evolution is different.

A land of flowers, lakes, canals, cyclers and take away food
A country, bigger in surface, more population (15-11 million) but rather equal in habitants per person/square meter compared with Belgium
A country where many tourists are still stating that the Capital is Amsterdam, but they are wrong, it is definately Den Haag.

Canals and bridges

Canals and bridges all over the country, from N-to S, in A'dam- Venice of the north(next to Bruges.Haha). But also in many other big or small cities/villages in the Netherlands you will notice the importance and changes in "The Land of Seas"

Take away food

Taking food out of a wall - kroket or bami, doesn't matter.
Chinese restaurants....
Moment please, this doesn't mean that culinar highlights you will not find.
The fresh seafood, offered in many places is just excellent, but rather expensive

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:It is a nice country, full of history, conquering the sea
  • Cons:The beer, absolutely like upgraded sparkling water
  • In a nutshell:I hope to visit more places in this country

    A nice quick vignette of the Netherlands, especially that taste of salty air while sailing! I've still got too much ground to cover!
