On the 2nd. day
of the cruise (8/13), the ship sailed to Kinderdijk during the night and
arrived in the morning.
 There
were hundreds of windmills in Netherland hundreds years ago but about 35 are left now in
Kinderdijk. When we were there, all windmills were not working but one,
which I believe is operationg just to demonstrate to the visitors. Windmills
were primarily to pump the water of canals to North Sea to protect the
country from sea water flowing in. In addition, some mills were used to
grind flours.

windmills in Kinderdijk.
 Visitors
at the Information Center where they can ride cruise ship to see windmills
closer.
 At
the windmill operating. Look at the huge wood carved shoes!! These wood
shoes are also famous shoes of Netherland because they have been used in old
times as it is easiest to wash and clean from muds.
