Here is Holland
ISBN 978-9059721418 - 492 pages

 

 EXCERPT :

Welcome to the Netherlands, a tiny country that extends, at its broadest, 312 kms (194 miles) north to south, and 264 kms (164 miles) east to west – although the land area increases slightly each year as a result of continuous land reclamation and drainage.
With a lot of heart and much to offer, “Holland”, as it is commonly known to all but the Dutch – a name that stems from its once most prominent provinces - has more going on per kilometer than most countries and, more English- speaking natives. You’ll be impressed by its historic cities and charmed by the contrasts of its countryside and villages. Its roads and public transportation are excellent.

Here's Holland also includes recommendations for children, covers the Dutch way of life – its culture and customs – and is full of useful addresses and tips for trips, by car, boat, bike, on foot, and even mud-flat hiking to the islands (see Chapter 8 on Friesland).
