summer in the city

Summertime! Amsterdam consist for more than 25% of waterways. There are approx. 100 kms of canals, there is the Amstel and the IJ. And there are lakes like the Gaasperplas and the Sloterplas. To the East of the city there is the Markermeer, part of the bigger IJsselmeer. In the lake artificial islands have been created that form a new part of the city called IJburg. On the other side of the lake is the quaint village called Durgerdam.

leaning houses

Many houses in the city centre are leaning, like this group of houses on the Amstel. The city lies beneath the sea level, and the ground is very soft. Before we can build houses, we need to lay a foundation of piles. There are around 60 piles beneath a house, with a lenght between 12-20 meters. At a depht of 12 meters and again 20 meters there are sand layers. The piles are driven into the soil till they rest on the sand. In the past wooden piles were used, the city rests on 11 million piles. As long as those piles remained under water, they were like stone, but if the groundwater level changed, the piles started to rot. Hence the leaning.

amsterdam stories

The Montelbaanstoren is an old defense tower on the East side of the old town dating back to the 16th century. The white upper part was added in the 17th century. In the 16th century watchmen used the tower to check for fires in the city, especially on the shipyards. If the alarm was sounded the people from the neighborhood had to form a human chain and pass the bucket to help extinguish the fire. In the 17th century Jan van der Heijden invented the first firehose.

amsterdam port

The Amsterdam is a copy of an 18th century trade ship. It was built for a regatta called Sail Amsterdam that has taken place in August every 5 years since 1975. This ship was built for Sail 1990. It is now part of the Maritime museum.

amsterdam architecture

The Amsterdam opera house stands on an artificial island called Vlooienburg that was created in the bend of the Amstel around 1608. The quays of the island were used for wood storage and the island housed from the middle of the 17th century several orphanages. It was part of the Jewish quarter. After WW II the buildings in the area were in a bad shape, and were demolished to create space for a new city hall designed by the Austrian architect Wilhelm Holzbauer. After many years of protests it was decided to combine the city hall with a new music hall( opera & ballet) designed by the Dutch architect Cees Dam.

dutch countryside 2

A day in the Dutch countryside. This museum windmill called de Breek can be found in the Etersheimer Braakpolder. The polder which was created in 1632 is located between Edam and Hoorn. Here you can find the lowest point in the Province North Holland: 6,60 meters ( 21,7 ft) below the sea level! After the flooding disaster of January 1916 the clay from this polder was used to rebuild and fortify the dike along the Zuiderzee. The nearby Beemster polder is famous for its cheese and we found a cheese vending machine! The cafe les deux ponts made a great stop for coffee and apple pie.

Looking for shade😎 In the old town it’s much cooler in the alleys, like Gebed zonder end. The little street takes its name from the monasteries(19) that could be found within the medieval walls. There was non stop prayer going on: gebed zonder end🙏
