Dutch icons

Just what you have been waiting for all week, windmills! We headed off on the train again, this time to the village of Zaanse Schans where old shops, cottages and windmills from the Zaan region have been relocated on the water edge. The six windmills include a mustard mill, an oil mill, a saw mill and a mill devoted to the grinding of natural pigments for the manufacture of paint. A very interesting day out!

The train back to Amsterdam was 2 minutes early into Amsterdam. How outrageous is that? There will surely be a high level enquiry! (I don't think that I have ever travelled on a train that reached Aberdeen anything like on time, let alone early.)
