Pierrette and Bored,<BR>I was very lucky to have boreds help in my journey. I took the Stena Line Hoek van Holland to Harwich. It was shockingly not very rough. I then spent 7 days in England and 3 days in Scotland. The home exchange worked out great( it was my Dad's NYC apartment). When I got to England and realized how much our hotel was I appreciated it. more.

You are fortunate the North Sea wasn't too rough out of Hoek van Holland. Good for you. Glad I was able to help. It was rather fun giving advice on what to see and do and then knowing the advice worked! Pierrette, thanks too for your kind words.<BR><BR>

Hi
I picked up this thread rather late.
Almere is a new city, started in late 70's, built on the reclaimed Flevoland.
I had a friend who bought one of the first properties adjacent to a shopping centre (which was his roof garden with ponds, shed, etc). My first visit was by ladder on the building site. Over the years it grew rapidly. There is a good train service to Amsterdam.
Other places worth visiting :
Naarden Vesting (Fortified island village)
Lelystad (Flevoland museum)
Enkhuizen (Old port on Zuider Zee with maritime museum)
etc
