The Netherlands

The Netherlands Flag
 
We went on a dinner cruise in the canals of Amsterdam. 
 












 

 We toured a clog factory in Marken.
 








Volendam is a fishing village in north Holland. 

 
 
 








Zaanse Schans is a small village on the banks of the Zaan River.  In the 17th and 18th century there were thousands of windmills along the dykes; sawmills, dye mills, oil mills etc that powered the Dutch economy.
The windmills are all working mills.







 
 The Royal Delft Factory has blue and white pottery. 











The Hague is the seat of government in the Netherlands.  There are lots of diplomats, too.
 










The Anne Frank House












The apartment block on the Merwedeplein where the Frank family lived from 1934 until 1942
