Kinderdijk, The Netherlands

We left Cologne last night and arrived in Kinderdijk this afternoon. The weather changed and it was very cold, windy and rainy for our two hour tour. The Kinderdijk windmills are a group of 19 monumental windmills. Built in 1738 and 1740, to keep water out of the polder, it is the largest concentration of old windmills in the Netherlands. The rest of the cruise will be sailing overnight to Amsterdam for departure back home.

We’ve had the Captain’s cocktail party to celebrate our Viking journey and a farewell dinner.

Rebecca and I met Sue on the Tulip Time Cruise, and now we’ve added new friends, Bobby and Ragan. We plan on visiting them in Virginia. The Viking cruise was a great adventure, and we will take home lots of wonderful memories.Read more
