Maastricht, Netherlands, City Tour
Maastricht is a unique city in Netherlands because it’s at the southernmost point of the country, way down by Belgium, by Germany, close to France even, and so the culture down here is little bit different than you find in the north and the west of the Netherlands.
It’s a very cosmopolitan city. It’s got that typical pedestrians zone with many little lanes just for people, no cars allowed, a lot of restaurants and cafés, there is the historic sites, the churches, there’s an old fortification and medieval walls around part of the city, and there’s a variety of other touring activities.
The main pedestrian street is Grote Staat. It goes right to the heart of Maastricht and it’s all for pedestrian, it's bicycles, people walking their dog, people out shopping. This evening it's about 7 PM we're getting twilight already. It's a Thursday, shops are open until nine on Thursdays, otherwise generally closing at 6 PM. So Thursday night is a great time to be out walking. And this is September, late September, the weather is unusually warm. For this whole month it’s been just perfect so that might be a the time for you to consider coming to visit the Netherlands.
It's an area for pedestrians and bicycles, for baby carriages, for people walking their dogs, but no cars loud here in this central shopping area of historic Maastricht.
It’s a pretty extensive zone that goes for dozens of blocks and with two main squares that are connected by the lovely pedestrian lanes. Naturally most of the shops are clothing stores but there’s a variety of other kind, there is the art galleries, sundries, there are cafés, there are always the bakeries, and the bar on the corner, there’s a few modern shopping malls tucked away in here as well too, beautiful Maastricht
Parade in The Hague, Netherlands, Prinsjesdag, Prince's Day
One of the most colorful and exciting days of the year in the Netherlands is Prince’s Day (Prinsjesdag) which happens in the Hague when the king rides in his golden coach in a major parade through town with lots of marching bands and soldiers on horseback, with traditional colorful outfits and thousands of people cheering as the parade goes by.
It's a big outdoor party for people of all ages and kids are especially happy because they get the day off from school.
You might be surprised to think that a political speech that's all about the budget for the year would turn out such an enthusiastic crowd, but it's really all about the king and the people's long-standing love and appreciation for the monarchy and they like the razzle-dazzle of the fancy parade.
This special day happens just once a year on the third Tuesday in September and begins at the stroke of one when the king, accompanied by other members of the royal household, leaves the palace in his golden carriage, which is only seen publicly on this one day of the year. Heading to parliament to give a speech, accompanied by court dignitaries and a military escort of honor, along with various marching bands and many soldiers marching by in colorful outfits.
We’re going to show you a lot of the exciting visual highlights and explain to you what's going on during this special day when the government is coming back into session after their summer vacation.
Leiden walking tour, Netherlands
We’re in Leiden, Netherlands. enjoying the pleasures of this beautiful town. It's another one of the great historic cities of the Netherlands, most famous perhaps for the University. It's the oldest university in the Netherlands, founded back in the mid-16th century and so there's a lot of university students here. And it's not as touristic, certainly not nearly as crowded, as a place like Amsterdam, which is only about 1/2 an hour away by train.
So it's really a refreshing change to come and visit smaller cities like Leiden. This city has got the canals running through it, as most Dutch cities do. And here it's really quite special, the canals come right through the middle of the old town.
There's half a dozen of these very peaceful waterways, especially nice in the morning, busy in the afternoon with lots of people out walking around shopping, eating and drinking.
During the program you will get a good look at most of the interesting parts of Leiden. I'll take you on a thorough walking tour, we will go down some of the main lanes, the little back lanes, side lanes. We will see the University and its botanical gardens. We will walk along canals and we'll just show you this town inside and out.
Starting in this central part of the city, probably the most attractive and popular place to spend time, where the Old Rhine canal and New Rhine canal come together.

Bookstore Inside the Church of Maastricht, Netherlands
Bookstore Inside the Church of Maastricht, Netherlands
Selexyz Dominicanen - a store created from a merger between the town's Bergman's bookshop, the Academische Boekhandel, and the Dutch Selexyz bookshop chain - is housed in the thrilling setting of a 13th-century Dominican church. This haunting building was once part of a friary knocked about over the centuries by various invading armies. Right up until last Christmas, in possibly its strangest incarnation, it was being used by the citizens of Maastricht as a glorious, or possibly inglorious, indoor bike pound. As for the Dominicans, they were driven out by Napoleon in 1794. After a brief spell as a parish church, this magnificent Gothic prayer hall - it has no tower or transepts, in keeping with the rules of the clerical order that built it - was turned into nothing holier than a warehouse.
Today, the church, consecrated in 1294, could hardly be more popular. The beautifully restored building is an attraction in its own right, and yet the installation of a towering, three-storey black steel bookstack in the long, high nave, together with a fashionable if somewhat noisy cafe in the choir, works extraordinarily well. Church and bookshop look as if they might have been made for one another.
As more European churches become redundant, we need to dream up new uses for them. Happily, books and churches have always gone together: in the beginning, as St John tells us, was the Word; the word was, in time, written down in books. At first, these were mighty tomes read by priests alone. Such was their value that, at the time this church was built, they were chained to vaulted library walls.
The bookshop installation here is by the Dutch architects Merkx + Girod, founded in 1998 and led from Amsterdam by Evelyne Merkx and Patrice Girod. The dominant new element in the church is the high-rise bookshelf structure stretching up to the stone vaults. Popular books are kept on lower shelves, while academic, esoteric and theological works are kept closer to heaven. These are reached by stairs within the sleek, well-made bookstack, although there is also a lift.

Utrecht, Netherlands walk with local guide
Utrecht in the Netherlands is one of the most beautiful places you'll ever see, famous for its dining terraces that are right at the level of the water in the main canal, with the city streets and shops up above. Of course there are lots of bicycles and historic brick buildings in that typical Dutch style. At the same time it's a modern city with a very high standard of living, one of the largest universities in the country and plenty of up-to-date shops set in this marvelous historical atmosphere.
There are wonderful canals that go through the middle of town like you find in many Dutch cities and here the canals are especially interesting because they're split-level, you have the street level up above and the terrace and water level down below with the sidewalk restaurants and the cellar barrel-vaulted basement, so it is really quite an interesting combination.
We are very fortunate to be taking a walk through the old town with one of the very best of the local guides, Jitte Roosendaal, and he's going to take us on a walking tour describing the setting, the people, the buildings and some of the history.
And at the end of the program will have a look at Utrecht by night, with their special lighting and lively restaurants by the canal.
You'll discover that Utrecht is a magical place that you're going to love.
We will also take you on a boat ride through the canals of the historic center and we will look inside several of the important museums, covering history, art and culture with some interactive hands-on activities, at Centraal Museum, Utrecht University Museum and Museum Catharijneconvent.
The historic center is small enough that you could just wander around on your own without any particular plan but it does help to have some information, especially from a guide like Jitte who's a graduate of the local University specializing in cultural geography.
It’s a goo city to live in because it's not that big, and it has a nice atmosphere a lot of history and when you need something well you can buy it, it's everywhere.
And Utrecht is also the heart of the country so it’s important it's, it's lots of connections motorways, train stations and so on. So from here, it's easy to reach every part of the country.
Consider how to handle your visit to Utrecht. Do you come here as a day trip from someplace else, or do you come and spend at least one night, maybe two at a hotel in Utrecht? It's up to you, but as you see, there is much to enjoy in this wonderful city, and it could be done, either way. Let's consider the possibilities. If you come as a daytrip you really want to spend the day and the evening, as you see here with this beautiful lighting, and have dinner at one of these outdoor restaurants. It looks so nice. And then you could take a late train back to your home city, perhaps Amsterdam, it's just 1/2 an hour away on the fast train schedule. Or better yet, stay a night or two in Utrecht. That way after dinner you can just take a leisurely stroll, you're relaxing, back to your hotel, spend the night. The trade-off is you have to deal with your suitcases, moving from one city to the next is never a lot of fun. But it's easy enough here, the distances are short and it's an easy walk from the train station into the Old Town with many hotels available. So do yourself a favor and give Utrecht a couple of days. One of the Netherland's best destinations.
Alkmaar, Netherlands city tour and boat ride
We are visiting the small and historic Dutch city of Alkmaar. It's in the province of North Holland in the Netherlands about 10 km from the coast and 40 km northwest of Amsterdam. You might not spend the night here, but it makes a lovely daytrip destination with its large number of historic buildings, many shops large and small, lots of Dutch food, lovely canals and one important event.
Alkmaar is most famous for its cheese market that happens every week from March until the end of September and we have a complete separate movie about the cheese market that you can see here:
In this vbideowe’re going to show you that there is a lot more to see in town besides the cheese market, so by all means spend a few more hours when you get here and walk around in the charming little pedestrian zone, and take a boat ride through the scenic canals passing a lot of very old brick bridges and buildings.
The historic center of the old city is relatively small, just about a kilometer across with several main shopping streets for pedestrians so you can easily walk around in a couple of hours and maybe take an hour for a meal and spend at least half a day here, or maybe the full day with the cheese market, then shopping, eating, strolling, and just enjoying the pedestrian atmosphere of this historic old city.
It's especially lively on cheese market day with lots of sidewalk stands set up selling crafts and foods, and clothing, all kinds of souvenirs, some big wooden shoes, and of course you'll have a variety of different types of locally produced cheeses.
The sidewalk stands are carrying on a long historical tradition because up until the 19th century, most food and agricultural products were traded on street markets.
We'll see a lot more of the city coming right up including a canal boat ride. But first a little discussion of how to get here.
Most visitors to Alkmaar are staying in Amsterdam and coming up here as a daytrip.
Perhaps the best way to get here is by train directly from Amsterdam Central Station -- just takes about 35 to 40 minutes to get up here and you will have the services of the excellent Dutch rail system with departures four times an hour on trains that are clean and smooth and not expensive.
Recapping our walk starting at the train station. We have gone through the middle of the old city and now have reached the center of the shopping and cultural area.
And here we've got sidestreets as well that are fascinating for strolling along and doing some more shopping.
These blocks in the city center preserve that 17th-century pattern of canals and narrow streets with many historic buildings we have reached the most beautiful part of Alkmaar.
Here are all of the elements of a traditional Dutch city come together what you would hope to find when you visit Holland old brick buildings along the canal Terrace restaurant with a view of the passing parade of people with shops and benches and flowerpots in the street lamps.
You might consider this the center of town with this impressive bridge in front of the Weigh House and leading across the canal to a lovely little shopping district with more of these pedestrian lanes with little boutiques tucked away. You could wander for hours.
This neighborhood in front of the Weigh House is action central for all the boats going through the town. Here you'll find several different choices for joining up with a boat tour. Some of them are just casual friends getting together, others are organized by various companies in town.
Springtime 2018 Amsterdam Afternoon! • 4.8.18 • Day 1720

⁴ᴷ Ferry Ride and Walking Tour of Governors Island, Manhattan, NYC with a gorgeous sunset
Enjoy this walking tour and ferry ride of NYC's Governors Island, which is only accessible by ferry from lower Manhattan or Brooklyn Bridge Park and only open from May 1st to October 31st. I take the ferry from the Battery Maritime Building at South Ferry.
Governors Island Map here:
From Wikipedia:
Governors Island is a 172-acre (70 ha) island in New York Harbor, approximately 800 yards (732 m) from the southern tip of Manhattan Island and separated from Brooklyn by Buttermilk Channel, approximately 400 yards (366 m). It is part of the borough of Manhattan in New York City. The National Park Service administers a small portion of the north of the island as the Governors Island National Monument, while the Trust for Governors Island operates the remaining 150 acres, including 52 historic buildings. Today, Governors Island is a popular seasonal destination open to the public between May and September with a 43-acre public park completed between 2012 and 2016, free arts and cultural events, and recreational activities. The island is accessed by ferries from Brooklyn and Manhattan.
The Lenape of the Manhattan region referred to the island as Paggank (nut island), likely after the island's plentiful hickory, oak, and chestnut trees; the Dutch explorer Adriaen Block called it Noten Eylant, a translation, and this was borrowed into English as Nutten Island. The island's current name, made official in 1784, stems from the British colonial era, when the colonial assembly reserved the island for the exclusive use of New York's royal governors.
In 1776, during the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), Continental Army troops raised defensive works on the island, which they used to fire upon British ships before they were taken. From 1783 to 1966, the island was a United States Army post, and later from 1966 to 1996, the island served as a major United States Coast Guard installation. About 103 acres (42 ha) of fill was added to the island by 1912, making the island a 172-acre (70 ha) island.

It's been 75 years since the south part of the Netherlands was liberated, and of course.. we CELEBRATE that!!
I wanted to film a lot more, but they wanted us to look authentic, so we weren't allowed to film during parades etc.

HARLEM GOSPEL CHOIR
Performing contemporary gospel with a touch of jazz and blues, the world famous HARLEM GOSPEL CHOIR is synonymous with power vocals, glorious sound and infectious energy. For more than two decades, they have been America's premier gospel choir and have toured the globe thrilling audiences with the inspirational power of black gospel music.
The world-famous Harlem Gospel Choir brings you an extraordinary evening of foot stomping and hand-clapping blues, jazz and gospel spirituals. From the heart of Harlem in New York City, the Harlem Gospel Choir travels the world as ambassadors for African American culture. They are loved everywhere for their joyous music and inspirational message. Over the years, the Choir has performed with such superstars as Bono, Keith Richards, Andre Rieu, Josh Groban, Lyle Lovett, Diana Ross, Harry Belafonte, Brooks & Dunn and the Chieftains, just to name a few. They have also had the pleasure of performing for Royalty, President Obama, Nelson Mandela and Sir Elton John.
Deeply rooted in the history of the African-American slave trade, black gospel music can be traced back to the 1700s when African slaves brought their unique African musical heritage to America and combined it with their new faith - Christianity. Out of the hardship and the trials of slavery, this unique musical tradition came to be, and forever changed music as we know it. Blues, soul, and rock-n-roll...they all have origins in black gospel music. Harlem Gospel Choir presents modern gospel classics as performed in the black churches of Harlem today.
Harlem Gospel Choir embodies the spirit of American Gospel. Every concert is infectiously enthusiastic; a roller coaster ride of singing and dancing; a gospel celebration. The Choir's rich harmonies and dynamic sound are truly unfettered and joyous. Their harmonious songs of love, hope and inspiration will touch the depths of your soul, lift your spirit and take your breath away.
Get ready to tap your feet, clap your hands and dance in the aisles to their high-energy, joyous and exuberant performance!

Hindustani in The Netherlands - Anthropology of the Dutch
Varisha Pancham (25) is account manager and was also a DJ in the now closed radio station I am Desi, a radio for Hindustani youngsters. In this Anthropology of the Dutch episode she is interviewed together with her radio colleagues.
De Hokjesman about this episode:
The Hindustani are both Hindus and Muslims who once came to Suriname from India. And then again to the Netherlands. We try to make it more difficult for ourselves as program makers, and it is typical for the Hindustani that they do not want to come to the forefront. They are virtually invisible; little interest has been made about the Hindustani community in the Netherlands. We have tried that now. The result is scenes that are sometimes on the edge of neo-colonial and paternalistic ... But I can do it, I hope.

It was a bit sad leaving Freiburg as I really kind of loved the city, but I was pretty excited to be heading towards one of the viking river cruise longships in Basel. After some hard travel in Patagonia, I feel like I deserve to be pampered a little bit. I'm on assignment with them for a full week, so it will be nice to be in a little bit of luxury for a while.
For the trip, I'm on the Hlin doing the Rhine Getaway which is a Viking River Cruise from Basel to Amsterdam. It's an 8 day trip, and it should lead to lots of cool destinations and hopefully images.
My job is to vlog my experience on the trip as well as capture photos of the experience.
The trip starts in Basel, so that's basically where this vlog starts. I rolled into Basel, dropped my things off at the longship, and then went out for a bit of a wander throughout the city. I've never spent any time in Basel before, so it was cool to wander around. It's a really cool town, actually. I need to add it to my list of places to go back to. When I got back to the boat, I gave a bit of a tour of my stateroom.
Unfortunately, as I got back on the longship, it started pouring rain. As we set sail from Basel to Amsterdam, the rain just crushed us. But, being a bit of a trooper, and wanting to capture our departure, I went out to the front of the ship to film.
This Viking River Cruise on the Rhine is going to be a lot of fun, actually. There are a number of other photographers and journalists on board doing reviews and vlogging their experiences, so it should be cool. Always nice to hang out with some other people in the industry, I'm looking forward to seeing their reviews and the work they come up with here on the Rhine.
Tomorrow, the Hiln and I roll into Breisag, Germany and we'll explore the Black Forest and Colmar, France, so stay tuned for that Viking River Cruise vlog!

About Annelies
Living in Urmond, at the narrowest part of The Netherlands not only Limburg is within reach, also the border-regions of Belgium and Germany are very close.
Everything is around to offer variety: the city of Maastricht, Liège, Aachen and not to forget an ancient and wonderful countryside.
Embedded in this beautiful countryside is the impressive Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial at Margraten.
Spending a day at the city of Maastricht for some shopping or discovering it's ancient history. or perhaps a bit further down into Belgium, to the wonderful city of Liège with its modern railway station Liège-Guillemins and the old city with the Montagne de Bueren.
Also within reach is Aachen, Germany, with its sources and Spa's.
If you prefer nature, wonderful hikes can be made in the hills of South-Limburg, were old lime-stone quarries can be found, small country roads and wonderful views.
More than enough opportunities to relax and rewind. I'll be happy to take you around.
