Travelling in "Zeeland"/Holland
ABC..= J-for JoAnn thats me,
J= for "Jarig"= Jarig = Dutch in English its: "Birthday")
And ...J = for Japanese ......
What has J-Japanese food to do with Travelling in Zeeland?
Nothing really to be honest, but SUSHI's are B.J's favorite food and because its B.J's-Bday on the 22th of September, therefore we are serving on his Birthday these Japanese snacks, like the -below- photo , there are several kinds of Sushi's possible .
*
A SUSHI is a Japanese food-snack ....overall made with several Fishtypes ( such as: Salmon Crab etc) or also wrapped in (black-green) seapaper. The Sushi is filled with sticky white spiced Rice, its best served with a salt sauce named "kikkoman"and an hot spicy -green- peppered tasted stuff named: Wasabi paste. Serve a medium dry white wine with the Sushi's. Bon Apetite and Happy B-day wishes for B.J :)

Above; Sushi a Japanese food-snack, enough for 4 persons.
Because the Sushi's are filled with white rice, therefore 2-4 sushi's a person is enough.

Above-right: Map of "Zeeland"Oosterscheldekering, click on picture to enlarge....

Above : To enter "Zeeland" by car you have to go-over the Oosterscheldekering,
a long road over water.....very impressive to see...
Its a long drive to get there( for us 3-4 hours incl a break) ,
but Zeeland is worth to visit!

Above: A smaller part of the road over the OosterScheldeKering with green and white marked stripes on the road, in the background the macinery and pipes of the Oosterscheldekering, and one of the man
y windmills (for making energy by wind.)

Above, More windmills and we are entering "Zeeland"

Above: Once you are in "Zeeland" on one of the islands, even inside the city we visited there are many bridges, they open and close ( the roads over the brigdes open/close too) when a boat is passing. Her people's on bikes and by foot are wating for the bridge to open....

HOLLAND is very wellkown by waterworks, and one of them is the OOSTERSCHELDEKERING, in Zeeland, The Dutch are very good in building dikes, just enjoy looking at the photo's and I hope you like it as much as we did.

Heel leuk om te zien, je zal het niet geloven maar ik ben daar nog nooit geweest. Toevallig heb ik afgelopen vrijdag een paar foto's gemaakt van de stormvloedkering vanuit het vliegtuig, staat er niet zo mooi op maar toch goed zichtbaar.
