Be prepared for rain at any time. Holland is a rather
damp country.Winds generally from the South/Southwest and are
pretty constant. Sometimes strong sometimes weak but
always a factor.Holland is generally pretty flat and sandy. Except down near
Maastrict (sp?) in the south where it is downright hilly.I cycle toured Holland and found it to be one of the most
delightful tours I have ever undertaken.Guy College Park
P.S. Learn a few basic phrases in Dutch. In the cities mast
people are bi lingual in Dutch and English but in some
of the outlying areas English is less common.Good luck and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
