The dikes.

We learnt that Holland is below the sea level, so it´s very dangerous becouse the water can flood the villages. This happened 50 years ago and a lot of people died.
Now they are building dikes to stop the water from flooding the land.
We visited the biggest and the most important dike in Holland.
It was an interesting visit because we also saw a film about how they build the dikes.
in the dutch villages there are a lot of canals, so people teach small kids how to swim so that they don´t drown if they fall into one of these canals.
