Volendam Netherlands
During our last trip around Europe we
visited our Cousin and her lovely family in Amsterdam. Amsterdam is such a
beautiful very colorful place. While we were there Our Cousin took us to see
this very quaint little fishing village called Volendam. It was just beautiful
we fell in love with it and just didn’t want to leave, but we had to because our
tour guide (our Cousin had more she wanted to show us).
Volendam is a Dutch town on the
Markermeer Lake, northeast of Amsterdam. It’s known for its colorful wooden
houses and the old fishing boats in its harbor, which is lined with seafood
vendors. The Volendam Museum features paintings, sculptures and pottery from
1800 to the present, a gallery of traditional costumes and mosaics made from
millions of cigar bands. The Palingsound Museum chronicles the local music
scene.
Of course while you
are in Holland you have to buy a couple of pairs of clogs and try on the
biggest pair you can find and of course sneak a kiss her and there.
We had so much fun and laughs with this lovely family while visiting
this beautiful part of our world. I can totally recommend a trip to Volendam
well worth a look see and a big thumbs up from us.
