The most beautiful places to see: Surroundigs between Gouda, Rotterdam en The Hague. The Hague (and schevingen) is nice to see, Gouda, Leeuwarden and Amsterdam also. Groningen is also nice, when you travel east there are lots of nice places to drive and hang-around. I'm not so fond about Rotterdam. ...
