Bridges, canals, windmills, dykes, tulips and bicycles – the Netherlands may be one of the smallest countries in Europe, but this maritime nation casts a long shadow. It’s a water-dominated country fondly-known the world over as “Holland”. Half the country is under sea-level and after spending time in the Capital City of Amsterdam, we cross the 30 km long Afsluitdijk to explore Friesland, and then delve into WW2 history at “A bridge too far” in Arnhem.
