History

Reeuwijk was formed as a location for peat harvesting and the first known reference to it is from 1248. The area prospered in 18th century when layers of peat were dug up, dried, and used as fuel for industries in Gouda. The :Image:ReeuwijksePlassen.jpg|Reeuwijk Ponds (Reeuwijkse Plassen) are the result of these excavations.

In 1855 the municipality Middelburg was added to Reeuwijk, in 1857 Oukoop, and in 1870 municipalities Sluipwijk and Stein. On 1 January 1989 the municipality Driebruggen (formed in 1964) was dissolved and the communities Waarder and Driebruggen were added to Reeuwijk.

    Day Trip to Anguilla from St Maarten 8 hours

    Crystal clear waters of Anguilla! Any trip to St Maarten would not be complete without a day trip to the gorgeous and unspoiled island of sun and sand - 'Anguilla'. Lambada's 10 year history of party boat fun, family gatherings and outstanding crew, have made her a constant in the line up of #1 excursions.

    Lambada 63' sail cat, was the first new breed of day charter cats to arrive in St Maarten in 1996. The boats are very spacious areas with proper seating, a walk up bar and two toilets. There are two nets up front which guests prize as prime positions to sunbathe while sailing, and an angled ladder that is lowered in the front for effortless access and exit into the water when snorkeling.

    Lambada provides the means to enjoy what both islands have to offer - food, drink, snorkeling and incredible white sandy beaches. This is the trip often asked for by boat name and not destination. The heady combination of sailing, rum punches and fun loving crew members, ensure a day committed to memory and the scrapbooks. We enjoy a tremendous amount of return guests who name the boat and crew as their #1 vacation trip.

    Departing from Pelican Marina, Lambada sails up the west coast of St Maarten and from Plum Point across the channel and up the coast of Anguilla to Sandy Island. Sandy island is the first choice, an ideal setting and the snorkeling great. Non swimmers can also enjoy the beach and shallow clear waters. The protected marine reserve of Little Bay, surrounded by sheer cliffs with caves is another option. Turquoise waters and a small swim up beach provide a mornings entertainment. At around 12.30 pm Lambada moves over to Road Bay for lunch at Roy's new Bayside Grill. Choice of BBQ chicken, fish or ribs buffet for hungry sailors and then free time to enjoy beach combing, swimming or the sun. Road Bay Beach is long and has various little beach side bars and guest houses. Like all of the beaches on Anguilla, the sand is white and the waters a breathtaking turquoise blue.
