The Netherlands always attracts me the most, since my first visit in 1982.
And it followed by annual vacation until the year 2000.
This blog fulfilled my ‘heimwee’ to the people, the cities & the countryside of the Netherlands .
Hello and welcome! I’m glad to hear that! I hope you will enjoy the following posts as well!
This is a great ride indeed! I just took it for the first time yesterday. Lots of people boating, swimming and sunning along the banks. Lovely photos! 🙂
Thanks! We loved the route, we’ll probably try it again soon.
