Venice of the North

After Lelystad we went to Giethoorn, a town in the province of Overijssel also known in the Netherlands as "Venice of the North". This is the place where you can do camping, stay in holiday houses or rent a boat to ride along the many canals. We went for a picnic along one of the canal – menu was nasi, sambal pusu, ayam goreng, and satay!

The kids even brought with them badminton racquets and football. But alas it was quite windy and what was supposed to be a pleasant and warm temperature turn out to be a bit cold to stay too long out there.

Personally this place reminded me of one of my last act when I was working in the Netherlands before. I shot a 3D seismic survey in what is an environmentally sensitive area.
