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. |

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... Website: http://www.koninklijkhuis.nl |

Thinking that the interior must be so beautiful as the exterior, I felt very sorry for having no time to enter. Address: Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 182 Website: http://www.globalrefund.com/ |
Rijksmuseum - I will follow the boys...

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... |
