Tulips and Windmills: Kinderdjik

 

The afternoon we spent in Kinderdjik was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. A UNESCO World Heritage site, home to multiple functioning, inhabited windmills, is just lovely.

Viking offered a few different options for visiting the windmills; some people rode bicycles and many walked. Joe and I opted for a trip by vintage barge up the canal and back. We got to visit the inside of a historic (a little museum) windmill. Most of the other windmills are occupied by [small] families who are paid a nominal sum to operate the mill.

We just loved it. We felt like we were in another world. Well, we were!

There isn't a lot more to say about Kinderdjik; but there is a lot to share in photos.

How fabulous - I visited the windmill in Holland, MI (transported from the Netherlands to MI long ago) and we toured its insides. I can only imagine seeing multiple windmills in their native habitat from the water, no less.

What interesting pictures. I wonder why all of those mostly yellow clogs were all in one room. Do you know why they were there?

Hugs!
