Just checked the GPS. It’s having some difficulty plotting a route. I’d love to attend.

You can either take the intercontinental railroad referenced by one of our ex-Presidents or the bridge that AOC is hawking, depending on completion date of course.

A lot of funeral homes in that area. Should something be deduced from that?

@Greg Stimpson
Hi Greg,

I think if you'd bother to fly down here, someone could be willing to let you be his/er co-driver [ better check this before booking a flight.. ].
I think I could persuade the dealer to lend me a [ second ] car.. ..if needed.

North Holland is quite different from the area we will be driving. North Holland [province] has a lot of wetlands [click to open streetview ] and generally is myriad of dikes and canals, and I agree its really beautifull !
I don't know which direction we will be heading this time, but last time we passed through Willemstad and Zeeland [ province] .

Both are in the area of the estuary of the river Maas, also surrounded by dikes, but no wetlands.

Just to clarify, dikes/dykes may not be what you think they are.

@scm
I refer to to the official dictionary, not the urban..

DIKE [ dictionary ]

The other type we also have plenty, they mostly have the same CROSSECTION as the earth/boulder-type that holds the water out..

We just came back an hour ago. It was great fun, like last year. Weather gods were with us, so we had a great run with just ten cars..
