You can book your guided tour to ZAANSE SCHANS from AMSTERDAM

or you can take a bus from MAIN CENTRAL Station in AMSTERDAM, 

which cost us about more or less 12 EUROS for a RETURN TICKET

and takes about 45 minutes to an hour

to reach these iconic windmills in ZAANSE SCHANS.

   

It is free to enter this area by the way,

which is a bit surprising to us as we are used to

NATIONAL TRUST or ENGLISH HERITAGE charging us a fee

just about anywhere you enter in the UNITED KINGDOM.

Well rejoice, the only money you need to spend here

is probably you entering the Museums on site,

which we did not enter anyway.

 

 

One more thing before we start the tour,

You don’t really need to have your money changed

from Pound Sterling (or your country’s currency) to Euros.

Just use your Credit or Debit Card

for anything while in the NETHERLANDS.

You’ll need to budget for your toilet trips too

because just about any toilet you enter will cost you 1 EURO,

and you can pay by CASH or CARD.

Now stop drinking a lot lol. 

 

 

 

This Green Area here is actually more or less like a floodplain.
It is full of hidden dikes and small canals.
Well perhaps the whole of the NETHERLANDS is built on water anyway.

Tourists flock here by droves.
A lot of tourists here are brought by Exclusive TOUR BUSES

Visitors enjoying the last bursts of the SUMMER SUN.

“The Lord is my SHEPHERD”
That was the first thing that came to mind.

Mini Windmills and Mini Drawbridges abound in this place.
DE HAAL: Whatever that is.

WELCOME TO THE HENRI WILLIG CHEESE FAMILY

HENRI WILLIG
SINCE 1974
Inside this SHOP, you can taste all the cheese varieties on offer.
They have already cubed them into small pieces and you eat them using a toothpick.
You might even perhaps make a meal out of your cheese tasting lol.

All the cheeses here are good but the COCONUT Flavoured Cheese stood out!

This is the view once again outside the shop.

These WINDMILLS won’t oscillate if they don’t put the sails on.
It’s a bit like the sailboats, they won’t sail unless you put the sails up.

This WINDMILL is turning because it’s got its sails up.

MOLEN MUSEUM 

Are these people just really obsessed with windmills or what?
These tiny ones are garden decors for sure.
POELENBURG
Now you know why there are windmills in here lol.
Just look at the winds blowing against the rushes.

AMSTERDAM PORT TOUR CRUISE BOAT 

This part looks like a DISNEY THEME PARK…

How CUTE & PRETTY these houses are…
ADORE them to bits.

This GARDEN is very sweet…
