Today I am leaving for Australia, and hope to stay there for three weeks. We shall all meet in Tasmania, my family and I, and celebrate Christmas together. But today I also like to tell you something of the Netherlands.
The Veluwe is a beautiful part of the province of Gelderland in the middle of the Netherlands.Gelderland is the largest province in the Netherlands. The capital is Arnhem. Gelderland, and especially is very popular with tourists and holiday makers.
The video is taken in a holiday centre near the town of Putten. In one of the photos you see a board telling the story of the men who were taken to Germany never to return to their families as a punishment because the people of the resistance had killed one of the Germans.
