    The Dutch, not content with merely driving the sea back, now seek to taunt and humiliate it

          Countryballs, the Dutch are asking their neighbors for clay. All saying no in disgust. When Dutch ball goes to the sea, there is no objection. Dutch ball claims clay. I would say it should be 'geef' instead of 'gib', but who am I to judge.

          EDIT: Linky as tall images don’t do well in web, unless you are an ant.

    Even the history of this is fascinating. This is the “Moses Bridge”, and it’s a renovated part of the old dyke system that was used to prevent attacking armies from getting in - because the dykes and levee’s had blocked the sea so effectively, they realised they could stop attackers by… flooding them out. Literally.

    When it came to renovate this area, they wanted to provide access without denigrating the fact it was an old defensive structure, hence this unique sea-level bridge.

      Don’t worry the Dutch know what they’re doing when it comes to water.
