the liberal Neighbor's

I always looked forward travelling to Holland, Germany's Neighbor, what a unique and liberal Country, innovative and hart working. the sea often destroying, what hart labour build, the sea demands respect, the Dutch people know that, started to work with and through the sea, not against.
there is a great Atmosphere in this small but densely populated european Country.

Main Railway Station

Amsterdam the Capital of the Netherlands....but not the only pebble on the Beach. Good for a great weekend dash, Nitelife and Culture top up, Amsterdam has a lot to offer and is one of my Favorite Capitals in Europe. But after a while I had enough...see Amsterdam and then see Holland, the Countryside and smaller Towns will capture the dutch way of life much better, which I liked the most

Pros and Cons

In a nutshell:I just loved it being there

You are so right Wal... to truly appreciate Holland and the Dutch people you need to get out of the cities and out into the small towns and villages ;~)

I was just looking at my useless "ex-canner" and my amsterdam pics wanting to be posted :-)) So, I just decided to stop looking at them and go looking for nice Netherland pages. .-) great work, Wal. txs.

From an American who is not loud, I think I would love the Netherlands. Loved your travelogue on Vicent. Enjoyed the Dykes, Haarlem, Amsterdam, Bridges, and your wise statements about drug use. Fantastic work.
