Schokland by Joyce van Soest

Driving by Schokland you don't see a significant thing, but when you stop and take some time to look around, it actually is quite an interesting place.

We visited the small museum which had some good information about the island of Schokland through the years: the first people who lived there, the problems with water which eventually led to evacuation of the island and the poldering of the land around the island. The small church on the island is still intact and there's a photo exhibit inside, which can be quite funny if you look at them up close (geez, those people on the island were not supermodels!).

A walk around the former island is nice too, you can still see where the edge of the island is and there are still some remainders of buildings.
