As I was reading, in National Geographic, about a bicycle/barge trip of The Netherlands the following quotes caught my eyes "Dutch town names appear to be randomly arranged letters you'd swear could never be turned into words." "Drivers of motor vehicles share the road with cyclists rather than viewing them as targets."
This was in a nice article by Boyd Madson about a group of friends who cycled 300 miles about The Netherlands (in celebration of one friends 60th birthday) while their wives took the barge and met them in the evenings.
Few pictures from the trip to the lake in the park here in Hoofddorp.

These fees can vary hugely between lenders, so it pays to shop around to get the best deal on your mortgage. If you want to get more interesting details about mortgage broker, you may visit here.
