"A
small guided tour………
We
start at the entrance of Polder Kolder. The big
square in front of it has several “monuments”.
One, I’m sure, is familiar to you!
We
climb upon the dike towards “De Vuurpijl”. Each year during summer a big
fireworks festival takes place in Scheveningen, a
famous beach resort. Of course now that AE was
coming they planned that for that date." |

"Next
are the bulb fields ending next to the Berlage
station. In this area we find the “Keukenhof”
Express.
Then we enter the “Amsterdam” area. With
canals of course, and pubs and restaurants. There is
a fair going on! Production: Amazing Earl
entertainment! You find canal houses, the
Rijksmuseum (Rembrandt’s famous painting :” de
Nachtwacht” is there), The “academie voor
kleinkunst” (a school, where people like AE are
learning their art.), The tower, Jan van Schaffelaar
jumped down from to save the life of his people (He
didn’t have a parachute though! This tower
actually is located in Barneveld, not in Amsterdam
but……..it looked good here!)." |

"Next
area, contains some of my personal memories. My old
school: Coevorder lyceum, Zandmeer: a lake that just
came into being because lots of sand were needed to
build new roads and…..when you start digging in
Holland you get……water!" |
