HAARLEM NORTH SEA BEACH
Today Henny drove us through the streets of stately houses to the wide, fine sand, wind blown beach at the edge of Haarlem where we, bundled up, went for a long walk past the kite surfers and sea gulls, ending up at a beach side cafe for hot chocolate and crisp French fries with mayonnaise.
The Dutch love and are a world center for flowers. On the way back to Henny’s house we stopped at the most wonderful garden store I have ever seen, full of people buying flowers.
