only in the Netherlands

Look closer and you can see the little dog. Here is why the Dutch air is so clean. Bikes dont cause pollution. Who's for a car free Australia? Oh yeah. Hills District. That would be hilly, right? Here you can ride for 40 km and not notice. Today we walked for 2 hours and because it was flat (and so pretty) I only realised later on it was so long. We did the shops and market at a place called Oud Beijerland on Thursday, and more of Tims village today. Oud Beijerland is on the harbour, is chockablock full of old houses and quirky little things, and right next to it is a fantastic shopping mall similar to Strand Arcade but without the prices. I got some major bargains and so did Tims mum. Then we had Ice Tea overlooking the corso and people watched for a while. There are the cutest old guys who congregate in the centre of the town and just watch everyone go by, nattering away, and so i had to get a picture. Unfortunately Blogger has issues with pictures right now so will try again once i stop beating my head against the wall...
