Most Dutch cities / towns
Amsterdam was nice but it had that Bangkok flavor. I'd like to visit
cities / towns in the Netherlands that are less cosmopolitan and more traditional Holland. Delft and Haarlem were nice. Suggestions? Pete

You can see the Peace Palace, the Queens Palace, as well as Slobodan Milosovitch -if you'r lucky enough to catch a glimb at the int. court house. Ronald

But it *is* Dutch - and anyone not knowing Holland and wanting to see the 'real' version might not find it so fascinating after all! Surreyman
