My Travels in Holland / The Netherlands

The first time I was in Holland was on my first backpacking trip, when I travelled to Amsterdam to spend three days. I ended up spending a week and a half.

Holland was nothing I expected it to be. I really didn't know much about the country or the people, culture etc and was really surprised to discover just how much culture and history is packed into such a geographically small country.

Some of the best museums in the world are in Amsterdam, travelling around the country driving on the dykes and taking a bike ride over countless age-old canals are some of the many highlights you can look forward to when visiting Holland.
