Zandvoort - Alkmaar

Twee & I woke up early and took a bike ride along the beach and into town. We dropped off the bikes and picked up the car and packed up and said goodbye to Center Parc Zandvoort (where we stayed for a week). We made a quick stop at mom’s neighbourhood and then we left said goodbye to Zandfoort and started our road trip. We stopped along tulip fields, one time adding pickles to our salami gouda sandwiches on the hood of the car. Our first stop was Alkmaar for the cheese market. It was beyond busy and we had to hold onto each other as we moved between the crowds to see the cheese weighing demonstration. We walked through the town arm in arm protecting ourselves from the drizzle. We stopped at the market and tasted cheeses, and bought GF cannoli. We stopped at HEMA to find a bathroom and got stuck in a massive line and paid .70€ each by credit card to use them. We love the underground parking garage for bikes.Read more
