Muiderslot is a 12th 
Century
Castle which we visited in January, 2000. As it is not open to the public
until in the Spring, we were unable to take tour the inside, but I'm sure
you'll agree with me that the photos we were able to get were worth the
trip.
Spring pictures will be added soon.

after I arrived in Holland, we travelled by train to Amsterdam. This is the largest city and the capital of the Netherlands, but is not the seat of the government. One day is not enough time to explore much of Amsterdam, but come with us to see a few of the sights.
>>Link to Amsterdam<<Since Holland is known for 
its flowers, one of the first places I had to visit was the official gardens known as Keukenhof. I never knew there were so many varieties of tulips! The beauty was astounding and I've tried to capture some of it and a few of the sights along the way in this section. Be prepared for large pictures and lots of photos of flowers.

Each time we visit another place in Holland I say "e;Now that's my favorite place!", but I'm sure many people say that about Casteel de Haar. It's a castle originally built in the 13th century and rebuilt about 100 years ago with all the modern conveniences imaginable. It is a true fairy tale castle with a history including battles, romances, and intrigue. Come with us for a look at some of the sites around this estate and a little of the history.

not only for it's shopping but it is to me one of the most lovely cities in Holland. I had the good fortune to go on a friend's boat for a cruise around the city canals. Click on the link below to join us.

and sights to see in Holland.
The bird is real, so you can get an idea of how small the buildings and model people are.
