Texel


Sender: Marianne

Texel is an island in the Netherlands. It has broad white beaches, lush nature reserves, forests and picture-book villages and relies chiefly on tourism, with the majority of visitors being either Dutch or German. The local wool is highly prized and there are sheep everywhere, lazing or grazing along the dykes. Texel is also a domestic breed of sheep originally from this island.

Quite strange there is a stamp on this card, which should not be used by 'normal' Dutch people. That privilege is maintained for the cour internationale de justice or in English the International Court of Justice in the Peace Palace in The Hague. I'm sure this is a mistake by the Dutch Postal Service: PostNL.
Nice blog and card by the way!

TQ for the info! I didn't realise that the stamp is special for the ICJ :)
