Boot tochtje op een mooie april zaterdag middag tussen de bollenvelden/Boattrip between the bulbfields on a sunny saterday afternoon
There is a small section of deck here with imitation plastic deck planking (foreground) in a kind of lino style, followed further back (bottom left in this picture) by a narrow walk along the davits, where the deck is painted blue.
The rest of the decks are laid with proper teak planks.
This is when we are said to have hit the wooden dock wall sufficiently to have damaged it visibly. Marco Polo only had a few square inches of scraped paint to show!
The river was flowing so fast that one of our lines actually tore!
Our four friends ready to walk into town, photographing the ship without any problems from any security people :)
We were here for the second sitting. Our table arrangements did not quite work out, and I ended up having only one and a half meals at this table -- but it was a good table in good company!
Hoorn is a town and a former Dutch East India Company base in the Dutch province of North Holland. It lies on the IJsselmeer, a lake north of Amsterdam. Shops and cafes dot its 17th-century town center, which is anchored by the Roode Steen, the main square. The harbor features the Hoofdtoren, a 16th-century tower. Museums include the Westfries Museum, displaying paintings of the Westfrisian Golden Age.

this is taken outside of Noordwijkerhout, just behind the dunes of the Northsea. These tulips were deep-red, as you can see.

Flower bulbs are grown in various parts of Goeree. It starts of course with the sandy soil and the right weather, but the result is also a festive sight every year after the otherwise gray landscape in the winter. Red, yellow, purple and the green of the leaves. It is a short period in which this can be seen because after some time the tulips are "headed" by removing only the flower. The bulb itself can then grow strongly.
