100% Dutch II

We took a boat right with Oma from Rotterdam to the Kinderdijk... which is the most windmills I ever thought I would see at once. Kinderdijk is 19 windmills within a few square kilometers. The Dutch certainly loves their windmills. Some were originally built for a source of power - for milling grain etc, but many many windwills were built to help manage draining the land and control the canals.

Here I am pretending to be a windmill. The weather that day was once again PERFECT! We've been in Holland for a bit under 3 weeks now... and it hasn't rained for more then a total of 40mins. Feels like summer. Holland hasn't had a string of days this nice since 1901*.

Back in Delft we climbed Nieuwe Kerk, the clocktower - completed in 1496. It's a giant clock-tower which you can see from almost anywhere in Delft. Makes it impossible to get lost, because you can almost always look around and see where you are in relation to the clocktower.

The clocktower.... pretty big for something 500+ years old. In front of the clock tower is the town square... a large cobblestone courtyard that is lined on the outside by all types of restaurants.
