Thats awesome, I imagine it would be very nice and quite as well as peaceful around there. Can you use a motor boat in the canals or only rowing?

A similar place with water roads can be found in germany in the Spreewald, but the homes don’t look that nice as in the Holland case.
And @Happy Hippie, in picture 4 you can see a motor attached to one of theboats.

I’ve been here and seen these places – it’s nice to see it again, and these photos are really good!
