Amsterdam Holland
I felt lucky to be in Amsterdam to begin with, but to have the warmest day of the year so far at 24c was a real treat. The light was just perfect. The city was crowded and plenty of people out on the canals with their boats. I heard a few British voices during my walk around the city, but it was mostly locals enjoying the sunshine.
With the outbreak of spring weather, the budding plants and trees, and the appearance of insects I felt Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers was fitting. I hope you like it too.
Amsterdam is high on the to-do list of most weekend break travellers, but few consider the possibility of getting there by ferry. It's clearly a liability to have a car anywhere close to the city centre of Amsterdam, but with the comfort of modern cruise ferries, and their low price, this option is now becoming a serious option for the modern short break passenger.
Even living in central London, driving to the Port of Harwich takes about one and half hours, which is about the same amount of time it takes to travel to Heathrow, to check-in, and to get through the security checks. Even after all the hassle involved with getting airside, you still have to queue onto the plane, and suffer the Dickensian experience of being folded into your seat for at least an hour before getting our again. At Harwich, things are very different. You have literally acres of space to park. I found a space right at the foot of the stairway to the port terminal. You then simply walk across onto the boat with barely any queuing, occupy your cabin, switch the TV on, boil the kettle and get ready for either a big breakfast at the canteen or save yourself for a large lunch at the restaurant. If you've been to an airport recently you'll recognise why this is an attractive option.
Don't forget the guilty pleasure of driving up the A12 when it seems the rest of the world is heading into London for a day's work.

Hidden Gardens of Amsterdam
We discovered many private gardens that lie behind some of the nicest canal houses in the city center. Many are also part of museums and hotels which can be visited year-round. But some are only open to the public during Open Garden Days which takes place in June. This year's theme is Art in the Garden, so many beautiful and unique pieces are also on display. If you're into flowers, landscape design or just want a sneaky peek into people's backyards, watch the video and see gardens that you can visit now and also get a rare glimpse of some which our normally closed to the public.

GREENWICH and CANARY WHARF. Places to visit - Lugares para visitar.
Greenwich es un barrio, actualmente parte del municipio Greenwich, en Londres, Inglaterra. Está situado en la ribera sur del río Támesis y es muy conocido por su historia marítima y por ser la localización del Tiempo Medio de Greenwich. Desde 1997, el centro histórico de Greenwich fue declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1997 con la denominación Greenwich Marítimo. Este sitio incluye el Antiguo Colegio Real Naval (ahora la Universidad de Greenwich), el barco Cutty Sark, y el Observatorio de Greenwich (el lugar por donde pasa el Meridiano Origen), situado en el Parque Real de Greenwich.
Canary Wharf es un gran complejo de negocios de Londres, situado en la Isla de los Perros en el barrio londinense de Tower Hamlets, en la zona de los Docklands.
En Canary Wharf se encuentran los tres edificios más altos del Reino Unido por detrás de The Shard: One Canada Square (también conocido como la torre de Canary Wharf) con 235,1 metros de altura y las torres de HSBC, adquirida por Metrovacesa por 1.600 millones de euros en 2.007, y Citigroup Centre, ambas de 199,5 metros de altura. En 2009 Metrovacesa tuvo que devolver la torre al banco (que nunca llegó a contabilizar la transacción en sus libros), con unas pérdidas de más de 100 millones en el camino.1
Entre 1802 y 1980, la zona fue uno de los puertos más concurridos mundialmente, llegando a tener hasta 50.000 empleados. Canary Wharf toma su nombre a partir del comercio marítimo tan importante que tenía el Reino Unido con las Islas Canarias que eran un lugar estratégico en el siglo XVI.
Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el puerto fue bombardeado y casi todos los depósitos de mercancías fueron destruidos. Tras una breve recuperación en los años 1950, la industria portuaria comenzó a declinar, haciéndolo menos productivo que otros puertos fuera de la ciudad, como Felixstowe o Harwich, provocando el cierre del puerto.
El proyecto de remodelación de la zona comenzó en 1981 con el gobierno de Margaret Thatcher. En 1987-88 la premier británica barajó instalar aquí la colección de arte del barón Thyssen, a fin de que contribuyese a revitalizar la zona, pero el barón prefirió la oferta de Madrid.
Places to see in ( Harwich - UK )
Places to see in ( Harwich - UK )
Harwich is a town in Essex, England and one of the Haven ports, located on the coast with the North Sea to the east. It is in the Tendring district. Nearby places include Felixstowe to the northeast, Ipswich to the northwest, Colchester to the southwest and Clacton-on-Sea to the south. It is the northernmost coastal town within Essex.
Its position on the estuaries of the Stour and Orwell rivers and its usefulness to mariners as the only safe anchorage between the Thames and the Humber led to a long period of maritime significance, both civil and military. The town became a naval base in 1657 and was heavily fortified, with Harwich Redoubt, Beacon Hill Battery, and Bath Side Battery. Harwich today is contiguous with Dovercourt and the two, along with Parkeston, are often referred to collectively as Harwich.
Because of its strategic position, Harwich was the target for the invasion of Britain by William of Orange on 11 November 1688. However, unfavourable winds forced his fleet to sail into the English Channel instead and eventually land at Torbay. Due to the involvement of the Schomberg family in the invasion, Charles Louis Schomberg was made Marquess of Harwich.
The Royal Navy is no longer present in Harwich but Harwich International Port at nearby Parkeston continues to offer regular ferry services to the Hook of Holland (Hoek van Holland) in the Netherlands. Many operations of the large container port at Felixstowe and of Trinity House, the lighthouse authority, are managed from Harwich. The port is famous for the phrase Harwich for the Continent, seen on road signs and in London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) advertisements.
Despite, or perhaps because of, its small size Harwich is highly regarded in terms of architectural heritage, and the whole of the older part of the town, excluding Navyard Wharf, is a conservation area. The Pier Hotel of 1860 and the building that was the Great Eastern Hotel of 1864 can both been seen on the quayside, both reflecting the town's new importance to travellers following the arrival of the railway line from Colchester in 1854. In 1923, The Great Eastern Hotel was closed.
Harwich is home to Harwich & Parkeston F.C.; Harwich and Dovercourt RFC; Harwich & Dovercourt Sailing Club; Harwich, Dovercourt & Parkeston Swimming Club; Harwich & Dovercourt Rugby Union Football Club; Harwich & Dovercourt Cricket Club; and Harwich Runners who with support from Harwich Swimming Club host the annual Harwich Triathlons.
( Harwich - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Harwich . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Harwich - UK
