Holland and the Dutch Minivan

Welcome to Holland, here you see a farm that has been raised only like 1 ft. above the artificial sea level. The place is full of long thin really artificial looking fields, beautiful though. This one is near a dike, on the other side of which the sea is like 10-20 feet higher then you see it here.



And a classic windmill. The sides and roof are thatched . . . weird.


You will have to come visit me to see the rest of my general Amsterdam photos there are too many, but for now lets focus on the title of this post, see in Amsterdam everyone bikes everywhere. I apologize in advance for not knowing any of the people in these pictures- is it ethical to put them online???


That would be a three story parking lot for Bikes (notice the British word "Car Park" is too restrictive in this case).


I think its pretty clear whats going on here and I don't think he's the first to come up with the idea.


This one is more like the Dutch Pickup truck, the baby rides in style. The older kids get a forward facing upright seat in front or in back of the Mom. I.E. Dutch Minivan.
Its quite rare to find kids in one of these, but they look like they're having fun.
