Day 6 - Thursday
- Kinderdijk windmills
- Really cold little rainy
- Over 10,000 steps today
- Learned the windmills aren’t grinding wheat- they adjust the water levels
- Yummy cafe meal at Kinderdijk- egg salad sandwich, Swedish pancakes, apple pie
- Drove an hour to Castle De Haar
- Baron inherited it. Was in ruins from 12th century. Architect from Rijks museum designed it. Was used only a month every year.
- Frank - the tour guide and others very friendly. Talked about amazing effect of steam engine created to bring coal out of England mine
- Beautiful grounds. Huge. But starting to rain. Saw snow drop flowers. Wished it was spring or summer to enjoy the gardens
- Drove home. These narrow roads with bikers everywhere are scary
- Uber eats for Indian food. Walked to McDonald’s for kids. They have banana shakes here
