Category: General
Posted by: The Agnew Family
It was a busy day touring the last of the sights we wanted to see. These sights were much busier than other sights but then they are also within an easy drive of Amsterdam.
Alkmaar is a city in North Holland that is known for it's cheese market. Unfortunately, we were not there on the correct day to see the market but we were able to see some of the other sites.
Alkmaar has many picturesque canals.
A street view and the inside of the St. Laurentiuskerk.
Zaanse Schans Windmills is an open air museum with windmills and a recreated village. As Zaanse Schans is a short drive from Amsterdam the parking lot was full of tourist buses.
A view of 3 of the windmills.
Adding to the village atmosphere are the free range chickens.
One of the operating village businesses is a clog factory.
Edam is a small city in Holland that has a cheese named after it.
Volendam is a Dutch town on the Markermeer Lake a couple of kilometers from Edam.
Marken is located on a peninsula in the Markermeer not far from Voldendam and was formerly an island in the Zuiderzee.
