Zaanse Schans

I took rather more windmill pictures today than is strictly necessary, at Zaanse Schans, an open air museum on the Zam river. I went inside two of the working windmills, one of which was grinding pigments and dies and the other spices. Buildings have been moved here from all over the Netherlands to recreate a 17th Century community Very well done and not excessively touristy.

We are staying in Amsterdam which is always fascinating. I hadn't previously seen a multi-storey bicycle park. Various modes of transport are available, as are retail outlets offering products of many kinds.
