We're planning an Easter trip for a week into Holland - we've booked the ferry and everyfink
Anyone any ideas / experiences for sites near to interesting sights? We like pretty towns, we like nice scenery, and we'll have either foot power or bikes, so won't be able to travel miles and miles.
We've got a week from the Hook of Holland ferry terminal, and pretty flexible.
Cheers - thanks in advance

Sneek pronounced Snake (and sometimes appearing on maps as Sweek)
Abcoude (just SE of Amsterdam)
and would you like to borrow my newish 1cm to 3km map Gerald?
(Ps didn't mention the obvious Keukenhof but I guess that is the main reason you are going at that time)

Thanks for those suggestions. Yes, the Keukenhof is in our minds (and has been ever since Annie did a sponsored cycle ride from London to Amsterdam a couple of years ago). And she's going shopping today for a good map, but thanks so much for the offer (we may well take you up on it ).
Nice photos!

! Pretty little town, and they even have a "stellplatz"-like

within easy walking distance to the city centre.

Hi has anyone been to Holland at this time of year as it looks very pretty we have a couple of weeks to spare right now and keep wondering what to do.
Gerald do you mind me asking what the Keukenhof is ?
I'll answer for him its one of the most beautiful parks in the world especially in the spring.
In 2008 it opens on 20th March

Delft is a very pretty place even in winter, very little open on Monday AM in Delft including public loos!!, limited parking unless it's a bike
Den Haag is worth a visit, from Delft 7 Euro return on tram each if you are staying at Delft Houte site, Venlo area, Apeldoorn area for forests also Queens Summer palace Het Loo, good daily market for fresh produce.
For the techno people the new sea defence system is a fascinating piece of engineering, not as colourful as the Keukenhof, but thats a minor point
