  • Holland is definitely the land of cheese. There are plenty of them (Edam, Mimolette, Gouda, ... ). The only difficulty in such a cheese shop is that of choosing !

  • The Netherlands are a paradise for pastry's lovers ;-) My favourite one is the so-called "gevulde koeken" made with almonds. Echt lekker !! Now also available in Belgium (and elsewhere ?) in every Hema-shop ;-)

  • Holland is the land of the bicycle. While walking, be careful, you almost have more chances to get hit by a bike than by a car ;-)) But at least it's less dangerous and more ecological and it's a very pleasant way to move in the city.
