Alkmaar

To start with, two pictures taken in Kolhorn. As I stated yesterday, Kolhorn was a bit disappointing, but there were some nice 'old views':





At a few places, there were plants for sale. Here, I think the cat was not part of the offerings. But sound asleep!





We left after breakfast and had a nice scenic trip to Alkmaar. This is not the main 'tulip area', but there certainly are a few nice fields:






The flowers are not really commercially important and are often destroyed. The value is in the sale of the bulbs!

To end off, another typical Dutch picture: these windmills, that are some 400 years old, are now used as houses. How cool is that, living in a windmill!





We will stay in Alkmaar for two nights and then move on to Amsterdam. Not sure if there will be a blogpost tomorrow.....
