    Nijmegen is among the three oldest cities in the Netherlands, and in 2005, celebrated 2,000 years of existence.

    Nijmegen is the oldest city in the Netherlands because of the Romans. You can see buildings that are more than 500 years old in the city center (even they still function as buildings). The tourist spots all can be reached in 20 minutes on foot. The town is compact and people look relaxed.

    Nijmegen - in this post I'll be focussing on the area above the city and the Bovenstad.









    Starting off with Nijmegen's famous Canisiuscollege:





    And then moving on to the Kronenburgerpark:



    Once of the most beautiful cities in the Netherlands - Nijmegen was bombed heavily by the Americans during WWII and then fought over during Operation Market Garden. It was long believed that the U.S air raid of 22 February 1944 - but recently it turned out it wasn't. It was just a show of deliberate hooliganism and just show they could state that they had bombed something and could get a quick leave. Over 900 people died in that attack and large parts of the inner city were destroyed.

    Nijmegen- in this post I'll be focussing on the Benedenstad with the Grote Markt and the Stevenskerk forming the border. The originally very poor (and heavily bombed area) still offers countless treasures including the Museum Het Valkhof, next to the ruins of the castle of the same name, the bridge across the river Waal and some amazing architecture and views.

    We're starting off with two local specialities: first the so-called Nijmegenaartje. Nijmegenaartjes are small meringue cakes with filled mocha cream and covered with powdered sugar:


    And second - the Marikenbrood - named after the main persona in the famous mediaeval play - Mariken van Nieumeghen - it's made of currant-filled dough,almond paste, custard, mandarines and a mixture of cinnamon and sugar:






    Now on to the Grote Markt:

    The last Dutch F104G Starfighter during the last flight from RNLAF Leeuwarden - 18 January 1984. From then on - guard duty over the Dutch area of responsibility was taken over by the F16 Flying Falcon.

    The first F16 (F16A) to enter service in the Royal Netherlands Air Force arrived on 7 June 1979 and was the J-259:


    After the F16 arrived in full force:





    In total, the Netherlands bought 213 F16's in various variants and updates.
