The Netherlands has a maritime climate. The summers are cool and the winters are mild. The average rainfall is 76.5 cm. Because of the wet climate, one will see lots of livestock instead of food crops. One can use trains, cars, bikes, buses, or the boats as transportation. The people are friendly and cosmopolitan. They appreciate attempts to speak the language; however, many will be able to converse in English, French, or German.
April 30th is Queen's Day. Make sure to wear the colour orange (the colour for the day) and enjoy the parade, music, food and the many activities for children. The best-kept secret of the Netherlands is the beaches. They are peaceful and one can walk for miles listening to the soothing sounds of the water lapping against the shore. A must-see is the tulip fields all in bloom from mid-April. One of the world's largest gardens is the Keukenhof Gardens. The colors are astounding; however, one will find the countryside just as beautiful with all the many colors. Enjoy a memorable vacation in the Netherlands.
