My first visit to the Netherlands was in the remote year of 1971, and restricted to the small city of Breda.

Curious thing - I was going to the war in Africa and for two years the "Breda" a machine gun, was a comfortable company. I don't remember anything of the place, as I don't much about Amsterdam shortly visited later.

Old and scarce memories, inviting me to use the proximity of Horacio (and the example of Tito) to a new and more detailed visit.

Amsterdam

Main square


I didn't visit much in Amsterdam, and the main images that I caught were this central square (and the smell of the canals...).

​My kids went there recently and enjoyed it, which means that I need to plan another visit.

​The Palace



Yes, according to the external views, and later readings, I agree that it deserves a visit, but I didn't have time.

It is in my "next time" list, that, I think, will happen soon...

A shopping center


One of the most remarkable buildings in the centre of Amsterdam, the old post office, was transformed in a shopping center.

Thinking that the interior must be so beautiful as the exterior, I felt very sorry for having no time to enter.

​Scheveningen

​Just a glimpse of the beach doesn't allow me to say much about it.

​I'm from the south - that means a privilege when talking about beaches...

​Beach

We were in Scheveningen just once, in a sunny day of late August, when beaches in Portugal are starting the second half season.

I was not impressed - the beach is wide and well equipped, but the rough sea and dark water didn't invite us (nor anyone else).

​I know - it's the risk of a first impression, but if that was the look in August...
