The Northsea

I'm posting backwards again... so scroll down to see the rest:)

And finally we got to the beach, I think we already had been walking for an hour and a half- and now the hardest part was coming! Here view on the Northsee from the top of a Dune. In case you don't know- all along the coast of Holland we have dunes, and they are really important! The official defenition for a dune- as I learned in highschool is: a hill of sand build by eolian processes (through wind). In Holland we have a lot of natural dunes but also artificial. The dunes are protecting the land behind for the water- since the waterlevel is higher than the land in most cases in Holland.

This is the view on Katwijk from the beach. Katwijk is a fishermen town and known as a very reformed town. There are many churches and most of the people have a really calvinist mentality- even more than the rest of Holland. The white tower you see is the old church on the boulevard, if it storms really bad the water comes really high and almost reaches the church...

As you probably noticed- I love sunsets...

Back on the boulevard- with on the right a fence to keep the sand from coming all over the place and a lonely bike...
