This post is specifically for the little nephews. Everyone else can pretty much ignore it. The Netherlands has a perennial problem with having her beaches washed away by the Sea. I guess this is probably a problem for a lot of beaches but it is especially problematic here. The response is to ship in sand and rebuild the beaches. I guess they rebuild them every year, over the slow winter season. When I went, there was probably a three-foot drop-off between where they had put in the new sand and where they hadn't. They had a half-dozen bulldozers out moving the sand around and getting ready for the summer. It was pretty interesting to watch, actually. Well, being the good Auntie that I am, I took some videos, just for the little nephews (welcome to the "little nephews" group, adorable baby Otis!)
These are videos of three of the different bulldozers which were helping to rebuild the North Sea beach at Den Haag.
They made lots of beepy noises, pushed lots of sand, and one of them drove really fast.
