WATERLAND 2
WATERLAND
North of Amsterdam is an area of reclaimed land below sea level (polder) called Waterland. This was reclaimed in the 1300's by building dykes and keeping the water pumped out by windmill power. Its agricultural though only 5 km from the centre of A'dam. i had the most enormous pancake at a gorgeous village in Broek en Waterland (after which Brooklyn in NY is maned) where the houses are the traditional wooden cottages.
UTRECT WITH CHRIS
Chris had the day off and was clearly stuffed so we went ot Utrecht by train ...with bikes of course. I think that I ride too slowly for him too. We climbed the 430 steps of the Dom , the highest bell tower in Holland and the view was pretty extensive.
Saw an unusual way to transport toddlers.
The canals are below street level and there are restaurants along the side path. We saw a barge delivering the beer .
