Wonderful tour through the Dutch polders. The windmills are impressive and are mainly used to pump the land dry. The forerunner of our modern wind turbines. ☺️

From ship to ship, from Zaandam to Alkmaar, and all this in good weather and mostly with a tailwind.

Very leisurely tour through the Dutch cultural landscape with the many mills, the cute villages and picturesque towns, on which you should take plenty of time.

Started this morning in Zaandam north of Amsterdam. Drive through the polder landscape to Alkmaar. In good time before the rain on the ship. The hurricane damage from last week can still be seen everywhere.
