A Stunt Driver Wants To Make

Oosterscheldekering


(La leggenda di Hans Brinker, il ragazzo che salvò l'Olanda dall'inondazione infilando il dito in un foro della diga)

Sabato 10 Novembre 2007
Certo le notizie sui giornali di Giovedì e Venerdì erano allarmanti: "Allarme maltempo in Olanda, chiuso il porto di Rotterdam.
Allarme dighe lungo la costa olandese per l'avvicinarsi di una tempesta nel mare del Nord e come misura precauzionale verrà attivata stanotte per la prima volta dalla sua installazione la diga che blocca l'accesso al porto di Rotterdam.
La barriera sarà posizionata stanotte per la prima volta e impedirà l'ingresso e l'uscita port from 9 tonight until 6 am tomorrow.
The local authorities decided to alert the security services along the Dutch coast, a measure taken recently in 1976. The Dutch weather service expected gale force 9. "

Why not go take a look in person?

So today I was equipped with a map of Holland and I went to the coast. My goal is not, however, Rotterdam, but the barrier Oosterscheldekering .
built between the islands of Schouwen-Duiveland and Noord-Beveland, is the largest of 13 dams on the ambitious Delta Project, designed to protect most of the territory Dutch flood, like that of 1953.
9 km long, the barrier was originally designed and partially implemented as a closed dam, after large public protests, however, were built of the sliding doors are usually open but may be closed due to adverse weather conditions. In this way, the estuary of the Schelde ecosystem is preserved, as well as economic activities linked to fishing.
Work began in April 1976 and October 4, 1986 Queen Beatrix officially opened the impressive work, considered by many as the Eighth Wonder of the World.
It is also seen from satellite !

A Dutch law regulates the conditions under which you can close the dam water level must be at least 3 feet above normal.
The dam was closed only 24 times since its construction, the last on November 8, 2007!
Here is a brief movie of the barrier:


look as impressive!

north-east, but the first point on the south to see the forest Hollandse Rading, then point directly north along Laren, Blaricum and Huizen until you cross the bridge that leads to Almere. In total, approximately 50km, of which half against the ...
It is certain that the Dutch are a people Supersport is amazing how much people pour into the woods, meadows, the channels for many different sports!
As usual, here's a roundup of the best photos of the day.

There is always an encounter with this strange species of cows: those who know what are their names? Mauro, why do not you do send?


Watch show that the carpet of red leaves in the woods:


someone tell me how you call this sport?

Free Templete For Church Anniversary Bulletin

Free gym at Radisson SAS


Friday, October 19, 2007

I discovered with great pleasure to have free access to the gym near the Radisson SAS work! Now that's a benefit! I am not clear yet why, but it is fine with me: is not huge, but there are all the tools necessary to run and carpets are also spinning! This I like, but only on Wednesday to schedule the lesson is acceptable (19,30), other times it is at 7 am!
The icing on the cake: a sauna and turkish bath!

Knooppunt 16

Sunday, October 21, 2007


But what is a knooppunt? Anyone go to the bike in the woods and Dutch countryside inevitably will encounter signs and billboards with these numbers: they are the proven system for bike lanes in practice is a cross between a knooppunt more cycle lanes, so when you want to reach a destination (knooppunt the target) is sufficient to identify the knooppunt intermediate and follow the directions accordingly.

Very easy and useful! In addition, bike lanes marked with these points are all of great natural and scenic! The
Official Website of care and that handles these trails is an excellent resource where to get information and even plan their walks: Fietsen in Noord Holland.
Today I decided to reach the sea, cycling destination Muiderslot Castle, through the nature reserve of 't Gooi.
The speed with which changes the Dutch landscape is breathtaking: it goes from green fields and woods and luxurious neighborhoods in lakes and beaches, not to mention wind turbines off the coast.
The tour lasted about six hours today, for a total of 65 km: not bad as the average true?
Let's see some pictures:




You can also special meetings ...


Meet dream villas ...


Glimpses worthy of a painting by Monet ...


fortified towns such as Naarden ...


see the wind turbines (windmills) off? Download the photo and zoom in!

And finally, but the goal ...


The return, always in the middle of 't Gooi ...
