En eenmaal terug in ons eigen huis, konden we niet zien dat er iemand had gelogeerd, zó goed opgeruimd en achtergelaten. Maar wél een prachtige geranium in een mooie pot als attentie ontvangen. Dat stelden we op prijs! Dank jullie wel.

Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Ref: Gold
Our completely renovated farmhouse overlooking the meadows is located on the edge of a rustic village in the middle of the green heart of Holland.
The house we live in used to be a cow barn. My grandfather had some 20 cows and my grandmother made her own cheese. My mother still lives in the front house. We transformed the back house into a home with all comfort of a modern house.
The Netherlands offers many possibilities for ART LOVERS. The MOST FAMOUS MUSEUMS of the Netherlands are all within reach:
* Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk museum all in Amsterdam, 65 km, 45min)
* Mauritshuis (The Hague; The Hague (66 km, 50 min)
* Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen (Rotterdam, ), Rotterdam (40 km, 35 min)
* Museum Het Catharijneconvent (Utrecht, 33 km , 30 min)
But don't forget to visit the Belgium cities: ANTWERP (100 km, 1h10m), BRUSSELS (150 km, 1h40m). The NORTH SEA BEACH (for example 's-Gravezande: 70 km, 50 min) is nice during a summer day
Nearby there is lots to discover. The site https://www.ontdekdealblasserwaard.nl/ (Dutch only ?) gives a nice overview of all you can see and experience in our area.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Noordeloos is a small village in the middle of the 'Grean Heart' of Holland.
Our house situated at about 200 meters from the centre of the village, but has a unobstructed view over the meadows, populated with cows and sheep, intersected by ditches bordered by pollard willows.
The nearest super market is 6 km away, but nearly a lot of things you need can be bought in the village: vegetables, fruit, eggs and meat (even organic!) and milk

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
You can use our kayak or bikes to experience the tranquility of the countryside.
Kinderdijk (Unesco World Heritage!) is only 25 kilometers away. Dive into a world of windmills, water and willpower. The canals, mills and pumping stations of Kinderdijk have kept our feet dry for over 700 years. Board the tour boat, step inside the museum mills and discover the personal stories of the millers.If you go by bike, most of the route leads through quiet villages or quiet cycle paths. It tells you the story of the centuries of Dutch struggle against the water. See https://www.kinderdijk.com/
Young children can discover the farm life in Avonturenboerderij Molenwaard Molenwaard. See https://www.avonturenboerderij.nl/
Gorinchem (10 km) was an important fortress in the Old and New Dutch Waterline. And the largest that is still completely intact. The ramparts run all the way around and give beautiful views over the rivers; unique in the Netherlands! See https://www.mooigorinchem.nl/nl
The centre of Dordrecht (25 km)looks and feels like Amsterdam: canals and ports with majestic houses. https://indordrecht.nl/en/see-do/
Museum van Gijn (http://www.huisvangijn.nl/) is unique:an ancient home at one of the ports looks as if the owner is just away to do some shopping. A visit can be combined with the Dordrechts Museum (http://www.dordrechtsmuseum.nl/) Every room has its own touchscreen to find our more of what can be seen. Nice for children too.
