Kinderdijk




Hi it's Tait,
Today we went to a place called Kinderdijk. It was a large area listed for world heritage with I think about 17 old style windmills. 1 was a museum and the rest were homes. We walked through the one that was a museum. it was very interesting to see all the cogs and that close up the sails spin soo quickly, but I guess today was quite windy. There were so many different types of windmills, thatched, stone, wood, metal and one really strange one that was the only one of its type. After looking through Kinderdijk we went to a small cafe where we had apple pie with cream and a hot chocolate. Afterwards we took the slow way home but we got to see a lot of different things than you would going on the highway like old towns. They were really interesting things we saw. In one village there were canals along all the houses and one house had a kind of garage with water in it so they could park their boats.
