Polder Den Bommel

Today we woke up and headed off to Maddy's worming appointment just 5 mins up the road, Maddy was wormed and Health Certificate updated for only £25, which we thought was really good value. Afterwards we headed to Lisse , the tulip capital of Holland. It was really cool driving past fields of Tulips of all different colours, there were fields of daffodils too.

After a tour of the colourful fields we decided to visit Kinderdijk, which we found by coincidence when a Holland screensaver came up on our computer. It is a Unesco site and was really nice to see 19 dutch windmills with some working aswell.

We walked up to a couple of windmills and realised that these were peoples houses. We both had house envy, what an awesome place to live. After a nice walk around the waterways next to the path we headed back to the van... we then spent a while working out how to leave the carpark as no machine, and barriers and realising we had to pay for a ticket at machine which was nearly a 1.5 mile walk away, where we had just walked from.A quick phonecall they let us out for free which was nice of them.

We drove on, very busy today due to Good Friday so rang and booked a campsite in advance. We spent the afternoon playing Bowles on the grass next to a lovely pond. It was a beautiful sunset tonight aswell with a nice temperature so we were outside most of the afternoon which was great. Pasta dish and then decide our next movements for the next couple of days.Read more
