So, having spent the past week and a half touring the Netherlands, hitting up everything and even gritting my teeth and delving into Amsterdam, I bet you're thinking, "wow, you must have taken some great photos, Helen! You've been to palaces, 13th century cathedrals, beaches, canals, museums — seen the tomb of Willem of Orange, the tallest point in the country, the dijks of Zealand, the place where the king was crowned — and you even went to the zoo!"

And you would be absolutely correct, I reply as I pack to go home tomorrow. In that spirit, I have assembled the best of the lot, just for you, right here and now.
