Today is Friday, June 22nd.

So today is the day off. I will also be here tonight as well. It is time adjustment.
I am going to the town called Naarden.
When I was making a route on a Google map, I learned of the existence of this town.
It looked like Goryokaku of Hakodate. And I remembered the Netherlands travels (Ryotaro Shiba).


There is no blind spot in the star type called pentagon or hexagon.
Defenders can fortress each crest's tip edge, build a battery, and build a parapet to protect the rifle troops, they can shoot enemy troops attacking other Crests from another Crest.

In Germany, France, and the Netherlands, intersections are often rotary like this.
The car enters the roundabout and rotates and goes in the direction of the target.

The bicycle will go through the roadway. In this state, the car comes from the left. In Japan the car comes from the right.

In Japan, I first check the right direction. I have that habit left, so I will quickly see the right direction. Confirmation of the left direction is slightly late and dangerous.

I will go after buying food at Jumbo. Whatever happens, food procurement is the priority.

Many people sunbathe in the Netherlands.

I will arrive in Naarden at a little more.
After 1555 the whole of Nederland became a Spanish affiliation.

Felipe II is a person who rolled down Spain to a state like now.
He sent a large army of 80,000 to repel Protestant from the newly belonged Nederland, and compressed it.

The Spanish army entered the lowland provinces, reigned with brutal religious trials and heavy taxes.

I can understand well that it is hexagon when seen on the map, but when I come here, I do not know the whole picture.Naarden(Wikipedia).

In 1572 the Spanish army besieged Naarden.
The citizens closed the castle gate and showed resistance attitude.

The Spanish army was cunning.
The Spanish army promised that they never to kill citizens and asked citizens to open the gate.
When the citizen opened the castle gate, the Spanish army thoroughly massacred citizens.
With the massacre of Naarden, people in the lowlands understood that "We have no way to live besides resist the Spanish army."
Nederland Seven states declared independence as the Federal Republic of the Netherlands and pledged to fight Spain.
The fear that we will surely be killed that if we surrender to the Spanish army has become the Dutch War of Independence that will last eighty years.
It is said that the starting point is the massacre of Naarden.
1155
This fortress was rebuilt in 10 years since 1685, 100 years later.
The structure was changed from the basics without leaving it as it was.
Because they learned by experience that were massacred,It was fortified with unnecessarily heavy thickness.

The hexagon is a star shape, the tip of the star is not a triangle, it is an arrow shape or a harpoon shape, the water moat has been turned around, and it has been devised many times in terms of defense in terms of defense.
Although there is no blind spot in roughly a star shape, because the tip of the hexagon is made in the shape of an arrow, there is no gap in erasing the blind spot.

Even more carefully, many small islands are created in waters. All the small islands were armed like hedgehogs as forts, and in the age of rifle and sword spear, it would have been impregnable. ・ ・ ・ Netherlands journey (Ryotaro Shima)

I think this lake surface is 5 to 6 m lower than sea level.

On the way back, I bought some food at Albert Hesin and came back.
1812
I came back to the campsite.
When I moved the tent to the shade and tried to sleep, the person named William of the neighboring camper was invited to say "Let's eat sausage together, eat chicken, hamburger also" . So I received his invitation and dined together.
People here often say "Oppers" if they are surprised. Mr. William said also frequent.
