- 9-episode travelogue through The Netherlands of 1823, following the itinerary and words as jotted down in the diary of young Dutch author Jacob van Lennep, who hiked -by foot and coach- during three months in the rainy summer of 1823, through the young Kingdom of the Netherlands, eight years after its becoming independent. Author Geert Mak, as narrator, joined me during the sunny summer of 2000 on a trip retracing the footsteps of Van Lennep, with the amazing result that most of the 19th century's locations could be found intact, following the original footpaths and coach-routes. Thus this mini-series turned out to be a living testimony of cultural-history of The Netherlands of 200 years ago.
