Zaanse Schans the Netherlands

Today we boarded our cruise ship. My room has a panoramic view and I can lay in bed and watch as we float down the Rhine River! It is spectacular!We took an excursion to Zaanse Schans this afternoon. It is a beautiful historic mill village with centuries-old windmills and timber houses painted green. The old buildings depict Dutch life in the 17th and 18th centuries. It’s not an outdoor museum. It’s a small community and the residents live here. They have a few small businesses such as a wooden shoe workshop, a Gouda cheese workshop, the mill and of course the windmills! It quite picturesque. The place reminds me of Hale Farm and Williamsburg.Baca lagi
