Winnie and I visited Holland this Spring 2009.
Our timing couldn't have been better as our main objective was to explore the tulips in KEUKENHOF (literally translated, kitchen garden) in Holland.
We also visited Neeltij Jans (like our Marina Barrage, but much bigger) in Middelburg - Zealand, in the Southern extreme of Holland to see how the Dutch controls the weather, in this case the storm water from the Nord Zea (North Sea).
Last but not least, we visited Benny Scherphof in Hengelo (a small town in the eastern part of Holland). Benny was my Teacher in my days working with defence systems. He brought us to various towns near Hengelo:

- a village accessible only by canals in Giethoorn and
- a nearby Deutsch (German) town over the border - Bad Bentheim to visit a castle.
A visit to a working Wind Mollen (wind mill), use for grinding wheat / corn flour for making pancakes, was very educational.
