April 2012.
Long weekend in the Netherlands, based in Amsterdam.
Zaanse Schans is a village on the banks of the river Zaan with characteristic green wooden houses, charming stylized gardens, small hump-backed bridges, tradesmen's workshops, historic windmills and little shops. It was established by relocating local houses, windmills, storehouses and barns to form a remarkable replica of a typical Zaanse village of the seventeenth and eighteenth century. Apart from the cluster of windmills, characteristic wooden houses and shops, there are demonstrations of traditional Dutch crafts such as wooden shoes, pewter and cheese making.
