The Netherlands is a small country that has been battling the elements for thousands of years, discovering Australia, New Zealand and founding New York

 

 

It greets tourists with the broad blades of windmills and winks from the sun-sparkling canals that pepper the lowlands. Patchwork fields of tulips shimmer with velvet in the most unimaginable hues, and medieval castles seem to whisper their ancient tales.The inner intellectual rejoices, following the trails of Van Gogh, Bosch and Rembrandt. And the contrast of modern cities and farmland is wonderfully inspiring.
