Travel Schlepp in HollandHolland is a little confusing. The language and the people are Dutch. The country's real name is The Netherlands. Its not simple like England where English people speak the English language.Karl and Debbie went there to talk to people at the OPCW. That stands for the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. The OPCW headquarters is in a city called The Hague but the Dutch say Den Haag. You get to The Hague by flying to Amsterdam and taking a train.
