| Quote: | History of Madurodam
The origin
Madurodam was opened officially on 2 July 1952. This amusement park has a very interesting history. It was established for two reasons: as a war monument and as a charity foundation. The joint initiators were Mrs B. Boon-van der Starp and Mr. and Mrs. J.M.L. Maduro.
Mrs. Boon-van der Starp was a member of the Society of Support of the Dutch Student Sanatorium in Laren. The sanatorium was founded in 1947 and offered students suffering from tuberculosis the opportunity to recover, while at the same time continuing with their studies. The costs of construction and patient care were high. Therefore the initiators were looking for a way of acquiring financial support. Mrs. Boon-van der Starp took the English miniature city in Beaconsfield as an example. Its revenues were so high that the owner was able to make large annual donations to hospitals in London.
Mr. and Mrs. Maduro from Willemstad, Curaçao were eager to erect a monument in honour of their only son George, who died as a prisoner in Dachau in February 1945. For his heroic deeds in the first days of the war he posthumously received the Military Order of William I. Before the war, George J.L. Maduro had been a law student in the city of Leiden. After they met Mrs. Boon-van der Starp, Mr. and Mrs. Maduro decided to donate a sum of money for the construction of a miniature city as a monument in commemoration of their son, instead of erecting a regular monument.
Architect S.J. Bouma, who in those days managed the Zuiderzee Museum in Enkhuizen, was happy to contribute to building a miniature city. After visiting Beaconsfield, he worked out a plan to reconstruct a Dutch town as it would have developed in the course of the centuries, on a 1:25 scale. The central theme was: the small town with a smile. Bouma's plans and drawings were used to approach the managers of a number of major companies for financial support. Most of them reacted enthusiastically, so that a petrol station, a nodding donkey pump, a motorway, a railway and an airport were made.
The mayor of The Hague was also willing to contribute to this unique plan and arranged for a piece of land in the Scheveningse Bosjes to be handed over on the basis of a long lease. The grounds were cleared by enthusiastic students from the Delft Technical University. The exploitation was carried out by the Society for the Support of the Dutch Student Sanatorium and specialists in many fields.
The design of Madurodam has not been changed since 1952. In 1996 Madurodam expended. The entrance, consisting of two dykes and a big lighthouse and some new models were made as also two multifunctional conference rooms and a exhibition hall.
The biggest building project after the opening is the renewed Amsterdam Airpot Schiphol. In 2003 the new airport was opened after a complete renovation. On the platform there is a new induction technique, presented here for the first time. It enables the three-meter long aircraft to taxi along the platform employing a magnetic field, rechargeable batteries and miniature computers.
The Royal Family
Madurodam has always had a special relationship with the Dutch Royal Family. It was a great surprise when the then Queen of the Netherlands, Juliana, consented that her daughter, the 14-year old Crown Princess Beatrix, should become mayor of the miniature city. Until her accession to the throne in 1980 she fulfilled her job as mayor. Through the years, many members of the royal family have attended special events in Madurodam. On 2 July 2002 Queen Beatrix revealed the new Golden Coach on the occasion of the 50h anniversary of Madurodam.
Young people
To tie young people to Madurodam, there was decided in 1952 to appoint a Youth City Council. Every year schools in The Hague elect representatives for the City Council. The members stay in the council for two years and since 1980 they choose a mayor from among themselves. The mayor and aldermen attend all official ceremonies and officially accept new scale models. |

| Quote: | Windermere & Bowness-on-Windermere can be found roughly at the midpoint on the east side of the longest lake in England "Lake Windermere" [10.5 miles/17km]. Windermere is situated above and away from the lake of about 1 mile/1.5km while Bowness-on-Windermere being the main tourist centre on the lake.
It may seem odd that Windermere, rather than Bowness at the water's edge, takes it name from the lake. The reason behind this was simply to provide the railway station with a more appealing name. Until the opening of the line in 1847 Windermere was known as Birthwaite. Windermere is as far into the heart of the Lake District as the railway was ever driven.
With the railway, Windermere developed quickly around the station, with hotels, boarding houses and shops eventually spreading down the hill to merge with Bowness.
Swans and ducks can be fed at the lakeshore around the Glebe [Bowness-on- Windermere] with boats for hire around the pier. Windermere Steamers the Teal, Tern [100yrs old] and Swan offer a regular service between Ambleside [Waterhead] and Lakeside [Haverthwaite Railway]. A short distance away you will find the ferry that carries passengers and cars across the lake to Sawrey and beyond to Hawkshead. Just south of the ferry a marina can be found with all the facilities you would expect from a modern marina. Back at the Glebe you will find tennis courts and pitch and put golf.
Some of the finest hotels and accommodation can be found in and round Windermere and Bowness-on-Windermere. A number of taxi's and buses also operate around the towns and from the railway station.
You will find excellent array of eateries from bistros, cafes, pizza parlours, Indian restaurants, Chinese, fish and chips takeaways. Also there are plenty of shops, ranging from crafts, gifts, clothing, outdoor shops, supermarket [Booths]. There are a number drinking establishments from the quite to the more lively ones.
A footpath next to the Windermere Hotel opposite the railway station takes you through the woods to the top of Orrest Head with one of the finest views in the Lakes.
An excellent and fascinating collection of craft, mainly steam-powered launches from the Victorian and Edwardian times can be found at the Windermere Steamboat Museum. Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddleduck and a number of other characters come to life at the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction with the latest technology.
A short journey from Windermere on the road to Ambleside brings you to Brockhole the National Park Visitor Centre. Here you can learn about the Lake District and the effort to preserve the beauty of the Lakes. During the summer, you will find a regular programme of events for all ages.
You can see why Windermere is the main centre of attraction for most visitors. |

Lake District.... Keswick
|
|
Rombongan kami ke lake district dianjurkan oleh Malaysian Society University of Newcastle Upon Tyne....kami hanya sempat ke Keswick dan Windermere....
Keswick got a small town.....from Newcatle, it took about 2 hours by bus. For those people who love hiking and sight seeing....this is one of the best place you all can come, so take a look all my foto.....have a nice day...c ya...bubbye
| Quote: | The heart of Keswick is its Market Place, ringed round with shops and hotels. which is now renovated into a pedestrian priority area. The dominant building is The Moot Hall, an ancient foundation which currently holds the National Park Information Centre. Close by are two large public parks offering games facilities in open, garden and wooded settings. They are an important part of Keswick's well tended appearance which has won it several national awards, European commendation and, very importantly, the appreciation of its multitude of visitors.
Though only a small town, Keswick has a range of shops and services far larger than might be expected. The friendly attention in the shops and the weekly markets around the Moot Hall is seen as a pleasant reminder of days gone by. Keswick is now rapidly becoming known as the" outdoor clothing capital" of England because of the number of national and local specialist retailers supplying every need. The visitor also has the choice of four museums. art and craft galleries, cinema, and the successful and all year round Theatre by the Lake.
Few visitors come to Keswick without making the short walk to the lakeshore and the boat landings from where rowing and small motor boats can be hired; the regular launch service around the lake also starts from here. Another five minutes walk brings you to Friar's Crag with its tremendous views across the lake and Borrowdale. The climbing wall is for the more adventurous while the leisure pool, tennis and bowls add to the list of activities for all.
The 4000 year old Stone Circle on the nearby airy hilltop of Castlerigg overlooks Keswick in its lovely valley setting on the shores of Derwentwater. The founding of St Kentigern's Church (AD533), the Market Charter (13th Century), early lead mining, quarrying, farming and the growth of pencil manufacture have all played their part in a long and often dramatic history. Famous literary names too, such as Southey, Coleridge, Wordsworth and Ruskin, were influential in attracting the early tourists to experience the spectacular scenery all around.
The name 'Keswick' is said to mean 'cheese farm' and is first recorded as a settlement in 1240. Its origins as a market town date back to 1276 when Edward I granted Thomas, Lord of the Manor of Derwentwater a charter to hold a Saturday market, which still continues today over 700 years later. The Moot Hall in the Market Square, now the home of the Tourist Information Centre, was used in the past as a covered market, a courthouse, a museum and a prison.
Keswick, and its surrounding villages, has a comprehensive and large accommodation sector to satisfy all needs, with a wide range of restaurants pubs and cafes to tempt the short and longer stay visitors. The choice is yours! |
