I visited friends and went to the Vondelpark for a photo shoot,\u00a0resulting in a blog <a href=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/?p=7505\">Homage to the Vondelpark<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>One of the big celebrations in the Netherlands is\u00a0Koninginnedag (Queen&#8217;s\u00a0Day), now renamed <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Koningsdag\">Koningsdag<\/a> (King&#8217;s Day). Observed for the first time on 31 August 1885, the birthday of Queen Wilhelmina. \u00a0When her daughter Juliana became Queen in 1948, the\u00a0holiday was moved\u00a0to her birthday,\u00a030 April. Then, in 1980 Beatrix became Queen. Her birthday is 31 January. Too cold\u00a0to enjoy the\u00a0many outdoor activities. Therefore\u00a0it was decided to keep it on 30 April. Now Willem Alexander is King, born on 27 April, so they\u00a0changed the date. Personally I think they should have kept it on 30 April. What to do when Princess Amalia (born 7 December) will become Queen&#8230;:-)?<\/p>\n<p>I went to town only for a short while. Too many people.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align:

href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Remembrance_of_the_Dead\">Remembrance of the Dead<\/a>\u00a0ceremony in my country. Quite impressive, I used to go to the Dam Square for the two\u00a0minutes of silence. This time I was already on my way, when I noticed that near my condo there was a (smaller)\u00a0celebration. So I attended that one instead. Impressive. After the ceremony I met (my second&#8230;) Yolanda at the Concertgebouw, where we attended a performance of the <a href=\"http:\/\/bachtrack.com\/review-anne-frank-cantata-concertgebouw-may-2015\">Anne Frank cantata<\/a>. I hope the name Anne Frank is familiar \u00a0to everybody? \u00a0We finished the evening with a beer at the famous Welling cafe! Near to where I have been living most of my life.

\/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>My following visit was to the south-west of the Netherlands, the province Zeeland\u00a0where I visited a friend from my university days, a long time ago. Here is the report: <a href=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/?p=7730\">Middelburg<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One day at home and off I went again, to Alkmaar, where Arie and Ineke are living. Another\u00a0report: <a href=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/?p=7780\">Alkmaar<\/a>. The next day I continued to Valkkoog, where I stayed overnight with\u00a0Lous and Arend.\u00a0In the afternoon we visited the <a href=\"http:\/\/nextcity.org\/daily\/entry\/new-hondsbossche-dunes-netherlands-upgrade\">sand suppletion project\u00a0<\/a>of the Hondsbossche Zeewering\u00a0(Sea dike). In the left pic below I have indicated the location of the sea dike in red.This dike was a weak spot in the Dutch defense system against the sea. Now new land and dunes have been created. Impressive. The visitor center had an interesting gadget\u00a0where you could give the impression (with a soap film) that you were standing in the water. Of course we had a nice dinner, my youngest brother was also present.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-7 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-7 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat:
