Enkhuizen !

After I was in Volendam, I continued my trip to Enkhuizen. Enkhuizen is a small city (about 20.000 inhabitants) in the province of Noord-Holland. Also Enkhuizen lays at the IJsselmeer and woaaah, what an amazing city it is!

Volendam!

I was free last Friday (SURPRISE, SURPRISE ! ) and as all other girls I love to spend time with had to work I decided to use my dayticket for the train with which I can travel through the whole Netherlands for a day and go somewhere on my own. I like travelling on my own. I don't need to wait for someone anf can go wherever I want to. I didn't know exactly where I wanted to go but I entered the train to Amsterdam where I thought about where I could go to while being in that train.

My first destination was Volendam. Volendam (which belongs to the province Edam-Volendam, yes, where the cheese Edammer comes from) is a cute, small fishing village 30 minutes by bus from Amsterdam. Also, Volendam lays at the IJsselmeer, so a pretty nice place to go. Especially the harbour area with the IJsselmeer is amazing to see.

TRAVEL TIME!

The harbour.

Beautiful!

The IJsselmeer! :)

Kinderdijk, a lot of windmills!

Last saturday, we (= the 3 au-pair girls in our street and Carina) went to Kinderdijk. Kinderdijk is a small village about 15 km from Rotterdam, in the South of The Netherlands.

Kinderdijk is one of THE places you have to visit if you are a foreign people and are in The Netherlands for some time. At this place you can see a lot of windmills (19!)  in a row with a lot of beautiful nature. They were built in around 1740 (pretty old!) to drain the polder and are now a part of the UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE . Pretty much worth a visit! More pictures you can find here !
