In Dutch homes the simple, substantial meals are the favorite such as potatoes (hutspot or stamppot), fresh vegetables, meat, sausages, chicken and fish accompanied by a certain kind of tasty gravy. Dutch people traditionally eat only one hot meal per day.
Funny Dutch habit is the eating of "Hagelslag", little chocolate sprinkles on thickly buttered bread.
Dutch food might be plain, and seem a bit old-fashioned, but it gets results. You only have to look at the Dutch - they're all almost 2 metres tall and tend to be thin and rangy.
However, restaurants are representing Holland’s multicultural backgrounds ranging from French to Indonesian and from Thai to Pakistani.

Walking around we bumped onto this remarkable willow trees.
The willow-tree is famous ofcourse for its vitality and elasticity. You can bend its branches without breaking like bamboo. And put a branch into a ground and, you will get soon some leaves ...
But the willow-tree is also well-known as "tree of death". Maybe because the willow-tree absorbs all of the water around creating dry land. These willow-trees we bumped onto, looked so weird. Knotty, gnarly, crooked, curved, rusty, wrinkled ...
The dark clouds invigorated the energy around and ... some further on there was a graveyard ... so not particulary a place to dwell after midnight!
So watch your step in Noordwijk.

Horses can be easily spotted especially in Noordwijk-Binnen and near the rural areas.
They usually go gently on the street and occasionally drop few s*it loads in the middle of the walkways.
