Best Ride |
North Sea Route |
All along the North
Sea route was essence of the
Netherlands - the determination
of Dutch people to take the land away from the sea
can been seen all along this route |
Best
Experience |
Vermeer at
Mauritzhuis in The Hague |
The light on
Vermeer paintings is just incredible.
And the topics are from the everyday
life. The real masterpieces. |
Best
Scenery |
De Weerribben National
Park |
Cycling through
the De Weerribben national park is
rather like cycling through an enormous
Disney set. Mile after mile of charming
and pristine cottages line canals.
Hundreds of barges and pleasure boats
go about their business. |
Best
Place to Stay |
TimeOut in Breda
Hunting
Lodge in Leusveld |
We had a tie and
two places were equally the best.
TimeOut was in
an idyllic setting with ducks on
a pond, very nice garden.
The owners were very helpful and
the breakfasts were divine.
In
the Hunting Lodge the
owners were artists,
the quality of the
lodge
and the atmosphere were incredible. |
Best
Restaurant |
De
Lindenhof in Giethoorn |
The food and the
service were unsurpassed, should have 3 Michelin stars, not just 2 |
