"Hoorn" the long bareer...

Holand. Some call it Netherlands...

Although i already visited Holand several times, only in the last visit i managed to see that the country is really under sea level.
In Portugal, zone in Ribatejo region also are bellow sea level, but there isn't, or i still don't know, any place where you can visualize it.

Well, in Holland i was in the small city of Hoorn where it's possible to visualize this fact. Nearby, there is a long dam that protects the ascent of the water level in Amsterdam. It isn't high and imponent as an eletric water dam, and is exactly that that is incredible, it's low and the wind that we felt there, made the waves to exceed the barrier wetting the cars that passed. It is a small rise of land some kilometers lenght with a road in the top and some control towers for the water level control. In the following photo is possible to see on one side the water in a very superior level and in the other side of the "road/dam" the houses that are in much lower level.


I, André, Gary and Heini altogether in a sunday morning straight to north and just after half hour first stop.

We were "unlucky" with the weather, so there was little will to discover and explore the city and the water control buildings. (In Holland, is rainy and windy 9 months per year average). The wind was STRONG...


We made a breakfast stop in a local old style cooffe place, cozy and warm. The regular costumers were there, playing card games totally focused on it, zipping once in a while their teas and coffees. A light meal, a challenging conversation and we continue our trip. Here are some fotos of Hoorn that i took from Google Hearth.


No surprises that portuguese asked help from dutch engineers in the construction of the so late metro station in Terreiro do Paço in Lisbon. Dutch rule the waters! With a great part of the country literally built above water, the constant movements of muds make the houses to shift and inclinate. There is also the boat houses option that can be found all over Holand. Next photo worths for a thousand words:
