Description:
Van
Muur tot Molensteen (from Wall to M
il
lstone) is based on the letters, that An de Bijll
Nachenius, retired Ambassador of The Netherlands,
wrote from her postings abroad to her fam
il
y and friends in The Netherlands about her life,
impressions and
experiences.
The
letters cover the period between 1986 when her
career as a b
il
ateral diplomat started as deputy Head of Mission
in East Berlin, behind The Wall, unt
il
l September 2004 when she ended her posting as
Ambassador in New Zealand. There is where a m
il
lstone in the Dutch Windm
il
l was given her name.
She
left East-Berlin on
7 November 1989
, two days before the Wall opened, to go to
Dar Es Salaam
,
Tanzania
, her first posting in
Africa
.
At
the end of 1992 she was went back to
Europe
. Her new posting was
Warsaw
,
Poland
, an old country
in a new phase of development, after the
collapsing of The Wall.
At
the end of 1995 she was appointed Ambassador in
Cameroon
,
Gabon
,
Chad
,
Central African Republic
and
Equatorial Guinea
, residing in Yaoundé, capital of
Cameroon
.
In
November 1999 she took up her last posting as
Ambassador in New Zeeland, Fiji,
Samoa
,
Tonga
,
Kiribati
and
Tuvalu
, residing in
Wellington
, capital of
New Zealand
.
In
her book she has retained the description and
atmosphere of the moment of writing, and so the
book gives an interesting insight of the different
approaches and lifestyles from country to country.
