On to the seaside resort neighborhood of Scheveningen, via the tram where Rudolph taught us how to use strippenkaarten - a strip card you use to get around by bus or tram in the Netherlands.  You can pay cash when you jump aboard local transportation, but it is a lot cheaper to buy a 15 or …

Yearly in August the International Fireworks Competition takes place in Scheveningen. It is a three-day, well-visited (if not overcrowded), Fireworks Festival. Day after day competitors from all over the world compete with showcases of their best fireworks. The Competition is the pinnacle of the fi…

My sister is going to make dinner this night for her party and lives a few minutes from Scheveningen. So we always go there to walk and eat. Today was a warm day, no wind, lots of sun, a perfect day! :D

Scheveningen is a lovely seaside resort near to Den Haag (The Hague) and is easily accessible from the city centre via tram. It is a hive of activity for both young and old alike, the busiest and most bustling beach resort I have visited so far here in The Netherlands. I first came here last S…

  In Scheveningen, my birthtown there is a touristic place called Madurodam.  For more than 55 years Madurodam has been the smallest city in the Netherlands. Canals, gabled houses and all kinds of other typical Dutch scenes: the miniature city offers you the highlights of the …

This blog contains photos of the day of my sister's wedding. And what a beautiful day it was. Sorry girls, you will not find photos of the wedding here...My sister says, that's too private to show to the world.

As promised to another TravBuddy, here's a photoblog of some Dutch beaches. Because I only recently bought a digital camera, and it is autumn in The Netherlands, the photos are not as sunny as I would like. Since I'm not much of a 'photoshopper', I show you the truth. The photos are made in 'Scheveningen', 'Kijkduin' and 'Noordwijk'. Enjoy!

Scheveningen was one of my favorite places on the Netherlands, so it was the first place I wanted to show Doug when he got here.  Off we went, and arrived on the tram with no problems, to find thick frost on the sand.  It was gorgeous.  There was a horse training, several dogs, and a…

Here it is at last! My first travel blog on TB of my recent trip to The Netherlands (My first and certainly not last trip out of the UK) A few photo's initially.......comments to follow shortly :-)

We wanted to see what a seaside resort here would be like, so we stayed on the tram, past The Hague and reached Scheveningen.  It is a very highly developed area, with numerous hotels and apartments and a very long, sandy beach.  All along the beach there are numerous terraces with rest…

It was a nice day in at the beach, the sun was shinning and overall it was fun! We went in the afternoon and drove to the beach, it was just a 2 hour drive from my home. What's a better place to be then at the beach on your free sunday!

It was great weather this weekend, so what do you do then. Go to the beach :-D Steph told her parents all about Scheveningen, so they want to experience it for themselves, so we set off. Took the train to Den Haag Centraal and from there take the tram to the beach. Too bad we weren't the only peop…

I live in Scheveningen, just 5 minutes stroll to the beach. Useful to play frisbee. There are also lots of activities such as kite surfing & surfing. The best thing about Scheveningen is the dunes ~10mins away & it's fantastic for cycling & nature spotting Usually great sunsets, I like to capture a few random photos now & then

This is the year that everything is gonna be different. That were the first words I spoke in 2008. I'm gonna do more and I want to see more of my own country. I read a question from somebody in the forum: If you want to see more of the world, shouldn't you start at you own country? That is what I want to do this year :-)
