As most who read here will know I rented for almost one and half year a room in Amsterdam when I accepted my current job. My landlady from that time and I did get along very well. And why should that change after I moved to my own spot in Heemskerk?
So for today we made an appointment to get together and do something nice. Gambheera (my former landlady) suggested if the weather would allow it visit the “Zaanse Schans”. It seems that I have been there before as a very small boy, but I have no memories of that. So I thought that was a good idea…
The “Zaanse Schans” is a very nice area to walk around and enjoy the old windmills and old houses. I think it is so popular with people from other countries because this is what they identify us Dutch people with… windmills, wooden shoes, tulips and cheese… and all of those you can find at the “Zaanse Schans”.
But even as Dutch person it is very nice to be there and see this things that were so important for our history.
After our long walk over the “Zaanse Schans”, Gambheera and I returned to Amsterdam to drink and have something to eat at “‘t Blauwe Theehuis” in the Vondelpark.
Afterwards I went home feeling good… and with a red head of too much sun light.
Below some pictures I made at the “Zaanse Schans”…
