Architecture galore in the city of Harlingen!
Many houses and buildings date back to the 1700's, when the city was one of the main trading ports of the Netherlands.
Take a stroll throught the city centre, follow the canals on to the water's edge of the Waddenzee...Enjoy!

Church of Harlingen
by ostia
I think this is the main church in Harlingen. Near the harbour. Made of typical Dutch, borwn bricks.
I imagine that after wedding the just-married couple walks to the channel, takes a boat and sails for their honeymoon!

The pictures aren't of the best of quality. We just decided on the spot to buy a disposable camera. But the pictures might be able to convey just a tiny bit of how it actually is to stand on the ice and experience the Elfstendtocht
