Above you see the map of Holland. You can click it to see a larger version.
It locates the bigger cities. The dark blue lines indicate the rivers, while the thin blue lines stand for the borders of each province.
Holland consists of 11 provinces.
Holland is not an island, as it may seem from the map. We have seas in the West and North. On the East side we're next to Germany while at the South we're next to Belgium.

Holland has 4 Airports. The biggest airport is Schiphol which is situated near Amsterdam. Rotterdam, where I live, also has an airport tho much, much smaller than Schiphol.
Schiphol has a website! http://www.schiphol.nl/ At the top of the page, on the right you see a little UK flagg which reads English. Guess what? If you click it the whole website is magically translated! : )

In the very North of Holland, near the Waddenzee, we have a Sea Shelter.
It takes in sick seals or orphanaged pups. The take care of the pups intill they can take care of themselves and nurse the sick seals back to health. Then they are released.
This centre has a website! http://www.zeehondencreche.nl/ Aren't we great?
We think about foreign ppl! As you can see you can choose to view the Dutch or English version! : )
