Today we visited the Dutch country side, went to Zaanse Schans, the picturesque windmill village with its typical green-timbered houses and warehouses. Other highlights today were visits to the fishing village of Volendam with a cheese factory tour and to Marken where we saw a local traditional clog (wooden shoes) maker.
Then after dinner we took a walk in the famous Amsterdam 'Red light district'. Sorry but we did not get any pictures to share there!
