Kinderdijk, Netherlands
After 3 days and 3 church towers (in 3 different countries), we decided to mix it up a bit, so we climbed up a windmill. We spent most of Thursday in Rotterdam around the old harbour and the Markthal with Hans & Connie (Brenda’s cousin and husband) and their son, Patrick. Mid afternoon, we struck out on our own and went to the Kinderdijk. It is a very historic area where 19 windmills remain in an area where they have been used for hundreds of years to drain the polders. Also, it is a huge, expensive trap for tourists.
The Markthal, where Hans demonstrated how to eat herring (haring) like a proper Dutchman.
