During my visits to the Netherlands, my siblings and I often organise a reunion, see for example my blogs De Nollen<\/a> and Family Gathering<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time it was not possible to find a date that was suitable for everybody, so instead I met my siblings separately. My sister Lous and brother Pim, I had met already with Aei Ling and Aric, see my earlier report<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 16 May I visited my brother Arie, who is living in Alkmaar. During an earlier visit in 2015 he had guided me around in this historical town: Alkmaar<\/a>. This time we visited the Broeker Veiling<\/a>, north of Alkmaar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a Google Earth image of what has been called the Realm of the Thousand Islands.<\/a> From the 13th century farmers have created these small islands to cultivate vegetables, like onions, potatoes, cabbages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
