A British friend was 'back' in Wageningen this weekend. I say 'back' because we first met here. We used the opportunity to do a cycle trip round the Kinderdijk(we didn't cycle there from here) which neither of us had visited before. It is one of the Netherlands' iconic landscapes (and a UNESCO world cultural heritage site). WE also recruited a 'local tour guide' - a Buddhist friend from the area- a big thumbs up to Geert for making it such a great day!
This land is some 6m below sea level and was reclaimed by windmills. I'm sure that there is some pro-renewables, pro-sustainability argument there. The light wasn't great - so apologies about the poor quality of the photos- but if you've never been -do try to - it's a very impressive place.
We took the water bus back to the city - enjoying some sights of more contemporary Rotterdam.
