Day 275: Amsterdam: Cheese, Clogs and Windmills

November 17, 2016

Today I had a quintessentially "Dutch" day out in Zaanse Schans.

It is a small, mostly industrial area just out of Amsterdam itself, which still looks like a traditional dutch town. I loved it so so much!

There were windmills, and cheese tastings, and clog demonstrations, and the best part was that most of the windmills are used for milling cocoa beans, so the whole place smelt like chocolate!

There were a lot of tourists as the day got later though, so I headed off in search for some food.
