Hi Gerald,

Arnhem down through Nijmegen to Venlo are worth a visit if you like war museums, history etc. The Dutch are very pro British in that area as well. You may even like to try out the Dutch delicacy of Frikadelan - a spicy sausage - sold on most street corners throughout Holland - excellent with frites and mayonaise - don't ask what its made from - just enjoy them.

Hi,
We did Holland for a few weeks last year and can recommend the following places:
Hulst, just across the Belgian border in the South/West of Holland, lovely walled town.
Another ancient walled town with a small port is Heusden, half way between Gorinchem and 's Hertogenbosch in the mid-South of Holland.
Then just above Heusden is (yawn) another walled town, Woudrichem, with a lovely castle to visit by footferry, Castle Loevestein.
Finally, if you like water and boats, in the North is Balk on the lake called Slotermeer. The 'aire' is inside the local marina. Very well looked after with free use of kayaks.
