Belgium and Holland: handbook for travellers |
Full text | xxii Passports. HOLLAND. hotels in England more than those in other parts of the continent. The usual charge for a bedroom is 1-41/) fl., breakfast (plain) 50-80 cents, table @hote 21/5-3 fl., attendance 1/p fl. — Luncheon is generally taken at 1, dinner between 5and7o’clock. Although, as a nation, the Dutch are enlightened and well-educated, the cl with whom the traveller comes in contact will perhaps impress him unfavourably; but quite as much real comfort and civility will be met with in Holland as in any other part of the continent. Fees at museums, churches, etc., should not exceed 2 fl. per day. Hotel exper amount to 7-8 fi. daily, and travelling and other expenses to 4-5 fl., so that the total cost of a tour in Hol- land will be 13-15 fl. a day. The ‘voyageur en gargon’ may reduce his expenditure to one half of this sum by breakfasting at the cafés, dining at unpretending restaurants, and avoiding the more expensive hotels. It may also be remarked that the steam- boats on the canals, the Rhine, Meuse, Yssel, etc., afford a cheaper, and often pleasanter mode of travelling than the railways. Ill. Passports, Custom House. Passports may be dispensed with in Holland, as in Belgium, but the traveller had better be provided with one ifhe contemplates a prolonged tour. Custom Hovss. All new articles, especially if not wearing- apparel, are liable to pay duty according to their value, which must be declared beforehand. New articles not previously declared are liable to confiscation. IV. Language, A slight acquaintance with the Dutch language will contribute greatly to the instruction and enjoyment afforded by a tour in Holland. German, however, is very generally understood, and English and French are spoken at all the best hotels and other prin- cipal resorts of travellers. Those who have a knowledge of German, Danish, or Swedish will recognise the identity of the roots of the great majority of the words in these languages with those of the Dutch. The language, which may be described as a Lower Frank- ish dialect, and which existed in a written form as early as the 13th century, developed its individuality more strongly during the wars of independence of the 17th century. It is expressive and highly cultivated, and free from the somewhat vague and ungram- matical character which stamps Flemish as a mere patois. Like other languages of purely Teutonic origin, it has admitted a consid- erable number of Romanic words to the rights of citizenship : thus, kantoor (comptoir), kwartier (quartier), katoen (coton), kastrol (casserole), rekwest (requéte), gids (guide), etc. Words of foreign origin , however, have been imported from motives of con- venience or fashion, rather than absolute necessity.
