Our Travels to the Netherlands.

The Kingdom of The Netherlands is a wonderful, very beautiful country that took many territory from the sea. The land is flat and is below the sea level. This country has a rich history. There is a good developed net of bikepaths and canals. It allows people to travel the country by vessels, bycicles, motorbikes and cars.
Dutch people are friendly and always ready to help a traveller to find the right way.
There are many museums in Amsterdam, that is the capital city of the Netherlands.
They try to use modern technologies in everyday life. There are a lot of modern windmills throughout the country providing "green" electicity.
The countryside is very beautiful as well as Amsterdam. You can visited old castles, important and famous cities such as Utrecht, Gouda, Rotterdam etc.
The architecture of Amsterdam and other cities is different, but everywhere you will find something interesting for you. There are a lot of festivals in every province and big cities each year.
