And tomorrow it's finally here. THE 2 days I look forward to every other day of the year (well. these 2 days + christmas). Up until now I only featured buildings in big cities, but today I will feature some buildings that are scattered across our beautiful little rainy* country.
*Yes, it was raining today, and I'm hoping it won't rain this weekend, but it doesn't look good...

1. RADIO KOOTWIJK
This former transmitter station has to be one of the oddest buildings in the Netherlands. It is a huge cathedral like art deco building, that's meant to resemble an Egyptian sphinx. It's so majestic and the fact that is was built in the middle of nowhere makes it even more impressive and.. a bit weird. Imagine being in the forest, and then BAM, this baby pops up! It's a shame it really is in the middle of nowhere though - as it's not reachable by public transport and this weekend not even by car. Entry is free though, and the guided tours are also free!
