Visit to the Sea Wall

Went for a day drive with Jan. Wilma stayed with Tessa who competed in a 5km run.

We drove to The Hague and saw the International Court of Justice and Parliament House. Then on to the sea wall near Neeltje Jans, part of the Delta Works that were imperative after the massive flood of 1953 that killed 1,835 people. Lack of funds, environmental disputes and technical difficulties slowed the project and it was not completed until 1986.
