While we lived in Holland we traveled around the country extensively. Its a small country only a couple of hundred miles across, but there are many interesting things to see. Parks, Museums, Tulip gardens, and many other things were worth a trip to see.
Often during the summer we would use our Harley Davidson and take off on a tour of the country side exploring. We have visited old Churches, man-made lakes, and museums while riding our motorcycle. One trip combined a motorcycle trip around the man-made in land sea called the Ijsselmeer which means Ice lake. Near the top of the map on the right you can see a road built across a very large inlet or bay in the north of Holland. The bay used to be salt water, but after the road was built and the sea could no longer flow back an forth the bay has now turned to mostly fresh water and is described as a lake.
One weekend trip we packed a lunch in the cooler and set out on the Harley for a trip across the almost 30 mile long road across the top of the Ijsselmeer.
Along the way we stopped to view the farms were they grow the famous Amsterdam tulips
One of our favorite places to go was the city of
Maastricht, Holland. The center square had a restaurant and beer garden that in summer was a beautiful place to lunch and we would often ride the Harley down and spend time there. Just off the square was an old church built in the 13th century that was a masterpiece of ancient architecture.
Sometimes our travels would take us to beaches
Sometime parks where famous battles raged during WWII
Other time picnics along famous Dutch canals
