Windmills and Clogs

We sailed over yesterday from Harwich to The Hook of Holland, on the Stena Line. Great sailing, we hired a cabin and relaxed. Arriving in The Netherlands in the evening, we load up on groceries and head to our BnB outside of Amsterdam. It feels good here… fresh and minimal. I like it.




We’ve got this hahaha 


Our first day and a walk around Alkmaar




It’s peaceful… must be all the water



Alkmaar canals 



Driving out to see the windmills at Zaanse Schans was definitely on the cards… nice history and display





We wanted to go to Haarlem, it’s a pretty town not far from Amsterdam. The streets are cute and homely, we could’ve spent a lot longer here really






Colours, textures and narrow streets of Haarlem


It’s incredible to bring these dots on a map to life. We’re not here to see everything, but what we do see, we want to see well. I think we’re achieving that lol.
