 And they are massive! There are windmills. As far as the eye can see, take a look. Hi, I'm Lavi and this is Oli. Over the past four years we have been on some epic adventures around the world. Now, after converting an old van into our new home on wheels, we are ready to hit the road and explore the wonders of Europe. Click the subscribe button to follow our journey. And let the adventure begin! Good morning! Welcome to our Odyssey! We are in the Netherlands! New country! Today we are heading over to the Beesbosch National Park. It's basically a giant sort of wetland area, sort of resembles a bit like a mangrove, swamp type vibe. Another really cool thing what we're hoping to see there today is beavers! There's apparently a big population of beavers. So, we will go there, check the area out and hopefully find them, see them, film them, enjoy them! So we're going to head over to the visitor's centre now and find out what we can do in the park. Exactly! Let's go! The National Park Centre has grass on its roof. This is the largest freshwater tidal zone in Europe. In some parts of the Beesbosch, the tidal range can be up to 80 centimetres. There are two major rivers that come into this area, the Rhine and the Meuse. And this, combined with the tidal zone, is what creates this huge area of freshwater. This tidal ebb and flow between freshwater and saltwater is what creates this unique landscape with this unique flora and fauna in this area. They're actually really big! They are incredible! Look at their feet! And then here, a skeleton. Wow! Okay, so we went to the visitor's centre and they said that the canoe rental is from 9 until 11. It was already half past 9. So we're quickly just getting the canoe and putting it in the water so that we can have a little canoe around this park. Exciting! They also told us that the beavers are actually nocturnal animals, which we didn't really look up before. So the chances are we probably won't see a beaver. Really nice waterways and hope that it doesn't rain. Yes! Okay, let's get this boat in the water. Olli is working hard to keep us straight. No, it's very, very nice and peaceful actually. The sun is out, the water is really nice and quiet. You can see already a lot of big birds. Yeah, so far it's very nice. Even though I'm a little bit sad that the beavers are sleeping. Reminds me of the good old days. We're moving on the Wanganui River for 10 days in New Zealand during our 3,000 kilometer traversing of the country. Yeah, it was just us and the canoe on that river for 10 days. It was beautiful. If you head over to New Zealand, you should really consider taking a canoe down the Wanganui River. It is really spectacular, spectacular landscape. I'm not quite sure, but I think this is a beaver hive here. I would like to go another round, but there's like a two hour limit. Yeah, you rent the canoe and then you have two hours to explore the area and then you have to come back for the next group. Oh my god, can you believe it? We just come off the canoe and just put it back and it just started raining like crazy. Oh my god. We're running out back to the car. This seems to always happen to us. Just after we've finished all of our filming and all of our visiting, then the rain comes. We made it. It's still dry. We wanted to just have a chill out and do a bit of editing whilst we were there. And also they had the best they've ever seen in my life, I think. It was so nice. So we both had a shower. Yeah, that was such a surprise to see a shower there. We were just at the toilets of the National Park and then one of the cubicles was like shower and we tested the water and it was warm and we were like, oh my god, we have to. So now we are heading over to another place this evening. We purposely waited until a bit later on this evening to go here. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's a really, really unique and special place. It's really quintessentially Netherlands. It's called Kinderdijk and it's about a 10 minute drive away. So we just had a really nice dinner at the town here. It's called Alblassadam and it's about four kilometers away from Kinderdijk down this pathway here. So maybe like a 45 minute walk and then we'll be over there. Far as the eye can see. Take a look. This is why this place is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and this is why it's so special. Beautiful windmills. There's actually still a bunch of people that still live in these windmills. They're actually houses as well. So there's people in this world that get to call this place home. How crazy is that? And this is a really beautiful time to come here in the evening at sunset. The colors, the ambience is just so quaint and so beautiful. UN is setting. The thing that they're all still actually in use to pump water out of the fields. They're not just for beauty, they're also for function. 100 years old. We've been told by some locals there are windmills all over Netherlands but you know what's special about this place is just how many there are here. Just the whole place surrounded. Absolutely magical. It looks like we'll be going back to the van in the dark because the sun is nearly nearly set but we just couldn't leave this place because it's just so full of beauty and it just looks better and better every moment as the light is going down and down. That's so good. I think it's time for us to leave now. We have to go back to our little beautiful home, Bretonado. It's going to be nearly pitch black by the time we get back. We really hope that you enjoyed the episode. If so, give us a thumbs up. And don't forget to subscribe to the channel. Exactly. We'll see you next time. Good night.
