Last weekend the Netherlands had an anual "open Monuments" day. Mostly we go to look for something interesting in the country but this year we noticed we had an monument in our own village Almere Haven named "The Bivak" We jumped on our bikes and cycled to an allotment complex. The "monument" happened to be a mobile home or construction barn that was used in 1975 by the first people wo had to make a new town here. There were eight of these construction barns for divers people to live in for some time and to think about creating a new town.
This is inside the barn. They were meant to be used for one year, but that ended three years later.
Well it s a long story to tell here, but for us interesting as we live in this place from 1979.It is now in use as an office for the allotment complex.
