The Van Leeuwen dynasty is arriving in Holland

Tante Paulien and Jackie & Tom have already arrived in our polderland.

Paulien went to Alphen aan de Rijn and Jackie & Tom to Giethoorn.

Paulien has visted the Mariahoeve in Woubrugge on bike

to see what it lookes like.

Well I can say, after this afternoon: it is beautiful.

And it's so easy to get there:

from the highway between Schiphol Airport and Leiden/Den Haag you take exit 6 to Hoogmade, follow the signs "Hoogmade" and there it is:

the Hollandse polder in all it's beauty.

Flat, green, cow's, windmills, dikes and water.

At Hoogmade you follow the sign "Andere Richtingen" (other directions), and after a few curves and a P space, you'll see, on your left,

the drawbridge to the farm Mariahoeve.

The farmer Van der Salm will welcome you

if he is not at work on the fields or in the stables.

The owners farmhouse is in front
and at the back, in the old stable, the reception.

You can park on the farmyard, see, hear and smell the good old farm.

More at the back are the cottages where the Van Leeuwens will stay in, 

with a wonderful view to  the polder and the Wijde Aa.

Enjoy !
