On arriving at Schipol
Airport we picked up our rental car and drove past the City of Amsterdam,
over the 18 mile dike that keeps out the sea, and on to
Leeuwarden in Friesland. |

The Afdluitdijk, or Barrier Dam connects Noord Holland to
Friesland. It separates the Wadden Sea from Lake
IJsselmeer, a large freshwater lake. A series of islands
called the Wadden Islands is all that separates the Wadden Sea
from the North Atlantic in this area. |

This old bell tower started
leaning before it was completed so it was never finished. |
We arrived on Easter Sunday and
everything was closed till Tuesday. So no traffic or crowds for 2 days. |
