Scheveringen at the Kurhaus

It’s a tough life! On a beautiful spring morning I found myself in the lovely seaside suburb of The Hague – Scheveringen. I was there for a workshop with Shell (very interesting) and couldn’t believe the splendid venue. The meeting was in the Kurhaus – think of the Brighton Pavillion on steroids – and the meeting room overlooked the shore and promenade…

This is my second trip to the Netherlands in a week and I’m struck again by the nice feel to the cities, the efficient transport system and just how polite and helpful everyone is.

I must find some time now to do a bit of research on the land reclamation and dykes. The burning question for me at the moment is what you do with the pooled rainfall when the land is below sea level? Come to that, why don’t the rivers flow in from the sea?

I’m just off to google those very questions, but in the meantime here’s another view of the beach from the promenade.
