Zaanse Shans village









You never know who you might see!





In early June, the in-laws came for a week's visit with our niece and nephew. Early in the week we visited Zaanse Shans. This charming village was built by relocating old wooden houses, windmills, storehouses and more to create this replica of a village on the river Zaans. It also contains beautiful gardens and scenery, the bakery museum and the museum shop of Albert Heijn (a famous supermarket here founded in 1887.) We strolled around the whole place, visited the shops, museums and windmills and had traditional pannenkeuken for lunch - yum!















Next up: A visit to our local beach.
