HOLLAND

Very pro-British and anti-German country. Relaxed open people, particularly where sex is involved. Almost everyone speaks perfect english. Pot is legal and you will be offered it quite openly in bars. A polite no is always sufficient. Holland really is full of windmills, canals, dykes, quaint counterbalance bridges and other lesbians.

Amsterdam:- A canal tour on a glass topped boat is a must. Cheese, beer and bulb tours are all available. Possibly the only red light area in the world that has been made into a real tourist attraction with a plethora of museums, shows, shops and the famous window displays.
Mikes tips:- put your morals and inhibitions on hold for a day and ‘do’ the red light area. Do everything except a prostitute, then go back to your normal life safely with your eyes open a little wider!

Noordwijk sur zee:- Small seaside town with superb beach, large modern hotels and an Irish bar. Not much else. Pretty dead in winter.
Mikes tips:- Go shopping in Leiden on the bus. Catch a train from there to Amsterdam for a day out.
