afferden

Our first stop in The Netherlands, the small farming village of Afferden. 
Flat with livestock and a windmill.  Can't get anymore Dutch.



Because it was so late in the season we had a whole campsite to ourselves. 
A farmer had converted his backyard into camping area.  Clean, cheap and peaceful.





And they really do put straw on their roofs.





hoge veluwe national park
From Afferden we drove a few miles (everything is only a few miles away in The Netherlands) to the hoge veluwe national park.
It's the largest in the country and would fit in the backyard of any suburban American home.  Seriously, it's tiny.
The main attraction is a modern art museum that's in the middle of the park.
Outside is a maze of neeto stuff.  A playground for the art lovers.



All sorts of strange structures that reach up into the sky.



Or stairway that go nowhere!




The park is so small that you ride a bike through it rather than take a car.
The dutch love their bikes, and so does Susana apparently.
