                                                              ZWOLLE. What might you well ask is a Zwolle?!  Zwolle is the last place listed in my atlas, so I thought that I would use it. Zwolle is a city in the Netherlands founded around 800A.D.  Zwolle was granted city rights on the 31 August 1230. Its population, in 2014 was 123, 507.  Citizens of Zwolle are called Bluefingers, ( Blauwvingers). It is also a hub and the national highway network. The first train arrived in Zwolle in  1864. Zwolle offers  a variety of museums, outdoor activities, historical buildings and many pubs and restaurants.  Somewhere different to visit. Bye for now...
