Description of our house
Amsterdam centre is 20 minutes by train from our little village. So near the city, it's hardly to believe how rural it is here! We have a lovely house with a large garden overlooking a meadow with a windmill. It's over a 100 years old and we've recently refurbished it thoroughly. Like all Zaanse houses, ours is almost completely wooden inside and outside and painted in traditional colors. We have a large kitchen with dining area, which is almost the most important area to us. There is a spacious living room with a fire place and a wooden terrace overlooking the garden. Another nice room is the library with tv and dvd where you can have a good read in the afternoon. Upstairs there are two bedrooms (one master bedroom with a double bed (litsjumeaux), one standard double) and the bath room with bath and seperate shower. The study is in between. If needed you can use the car to go to the dunes and the beach (app. 20 min.) If you want to go to Amsterdam you better go to the train station by car (5 min) or bicycle and take the train to the city centre (15 min).

Our neighborhoodWe live in a village which lies like a ribbon between meadows. On both sides lies an natural area officially EU protected, where a lot of special birds live. It's possible to use the canoe to explore it. There is a supermarket in the village and a few small other shops. Zaandam is near where you can get everything you need and ofcourse there's Amsterdam.

Something about ourselvesWe are a very busy couple of 48 and 53. Gerbrand is a theatre consultant in Amsterdam and Marianne teaches Dutch language and literature/drama on a high school in Krommenie, a village nearby. We have a grandson, so there are a lot of things for children, f.e. a pram and a baby camping bed. We are looking for exchanges for the (long) weekends in spring 2009 (one of the European cities). Rome is one of our priority destinations! We love (mountain)walking, theatre, literature, art and cooking. We visited England, Italy and France a lot for walking. We have two adult daughters who live in the neighbourhood. When there's a problem they can always help. Up till now we did five exchanges in France, Italy and England and they were all great!
