Vacay: The Netherlands Part 2

Hi peeps,
Okay let's continue with our vacay story..
malas la nk pening2 kepala nih..

on the 2nd day we went to North..Zaanse Schans
Tempat ni ala2 tourist village..best gak coz blh tgk Windmills and visit cheese factory, bakery and wooden shoe factory..
since we stayed in Delft, so it took about 1 hour to reach here..we passed by Amsterdam again but not in itinerary so tak dpt la nk pusing2 Amsterdam lagi..:(







Netherlands ni kan famous with the agriculture land..so mmg best tgk scenery die..terasa mcm kt Msia..especially lalu kt Higway yg ade farm..ala2 kt Kedah...



Zaanse Schans ni besar..coz ade byk windmills..lupe la pulak ade brp..maybe 10 or more..
Zaanse Schans Museum pun ade..but we all tak pegi..ingatkan kene byr..but everything is free..no entrance fee except parking fee..




This is the diamond factory..name je factory..hehe..
tp malas la nk menjenguk coz mmg tader budget pun..kang terliur je..posing pun jadi lah kan..


Best kan blh tgk real windmill..

Then we headed to the Cheese factory..siap ade demo camane diorang buat cheese and peram..
niat di hati nk beli bwk balik la..
tp price die mak aii..very expensive!!!
seketul cheese tu je around 35 to 70 euro..
Hubby mmg suke cheese, but unfortunately kt sini semua cheese diorang pakai rennet and tader vegetarian cheese..
tgk je laa...



Luckily when we were around there was one demo session for international visitors..that's mean all explaination in English..
That lady tgh demo la how the cheese made..



Area ni siap ade farm lagi..some of the tourist hired bicycle..coz mmg sgt besar..
but we walked around..saje je kasi kids tu penat especially Adib..
and mase jalan2 jumpe ramai gak tourist from Msia..hehe..




Ade jugak small museums around..Antique costumes, coffee museum etc...
but bcoz time was limited we skipped all that..

Kat background tu mmg ade farm..so diorang gune windmill tu utk pump air and control the water system..

another speciality in Holland..CLOG..
kalau dtg sini mmg byk souvenir dlm btk clog..FM pun..
there's clog factory here..
they have demo on how this wooden shoe was made..interesting!!!



From seketul kayu boleh jadi clog..menarik kan...

I didn't buy any shoe okay!!
(eventho shoe addict..hehe..)
so after that we went for some souvenirs shopping and left..

we headed to Madurodam (Mini Holland) which was really interesting..It's located in Den Haag, about an hour from Zaanse Schans..
I'll blog bout it in different entry okay..
sbb malas nk upload pics lagi..

tata..
