Okay, well...It "only runs to Den Helder"? Okay, well Den Helder is only like 100 km away, but my point was this beach goes on forever. I'm not aware of a 100 km long beach in North America.<br /><br />And the beach really doesn't stop at Den Helder; it jumps to Texel, then to Vlieland, then to Terschelling, then to Ameland, then to Schiermonnikoog, and then I'm pretty sure it just keeps going up the German coast on Borkum, Juist and those islands, and by then you're basically at Denmark anyway.<br /><br />And the way the wind was blowing, the sand will get to Denmark in any case. Probably in about an hour.RyderDAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00980791636129598607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157336875844130019.post-74849388570742664262011-05-30T12:47:55.968-06:002011-05-30T12:47:55.968-06:00The place is called 's Gravenhage but it's...The place is called 's Gravenhage but it's more commonly referred to as Den Haag bij the dutch. The Hague is just the english version of Den Haag (translation). Like you guys also call Cologne Cologne in stead of it's German name Köln.<br /><br />Scheveningen is actually one of those place frequented by the workingclass members of dutch society. <br /><br />Adjacent Zandvoort and Bloemendaal are the upperclass beaches. Bergen (50 km to the north) has an enormously wide beach and it's a very pitoresque village as well. <br /><br />I guess I need not correct you on the bit that says that the beach runs all the way to Denmark right? It's a long stretch of beach but it only runs 'till Den Helder.<br /><br />The Gemeentelijk Museum of the Hague is in sort of a down time right now after having broken all sorts of records last year with their exibition on the Blaue Reiter and Wassily Kandinsky last year (wich I went to see and it was great).Edwinnoreply@blogger.com
