Alkmaar, the Netherlands - 22nd March 2008

By: Eryah

Hello mom!

Unfortunnaly the snow was gone after a few hours yesterday. But they predict snow for tomorrow so maybe i can play in it again!

Today we went to Den Helder to visit Eva her grandma.
Den Helder has ever started with the arising of Huisduinen, a whaler village. Gradually it developed into Den Helder which we know now. A city which was built within the linies of the forten. Later formed a number of districts there around. The space between the different town parts is characteristic. Den Helder is a city with a strongly maritime screen. Sea-going, the rescue being, the offshore and the royal Navy natural.

The Navy has stipulated many years' the image of Den Helder. But the Navy shrank in, Den Helder threatened to become a city with no face. By nourishing the culturehistory , the tales of the seaman and with that the coherent heroiek Den Helder has rediscovered its own core values.

Eva told me this while i was watching the ship-building yard.
You can see the bouldings of it on my right hand.

Here you can see the dikes and this is also the road that leads you to the boat that brings you to the island Texel.
