The Netherlands and into Germany

Album 56 - We took the overnight car ferry to the Netherlands and stayed with friends at Purmerend just outside Amsterdam. Thanks so much for your hospitality. We saw lots of windmills, canals, lakes, brilliant museums, interesting architecture and did I mention the cheese?!! It was apparently a heat wave at 35 degrees so we had a swim at Callantsooq Beach, something we didn't expect to do in the Netherlands! We found travelling for more than 30 km beside or along the North Holland Dykes impressive. After crossing Friesland we were soon in Germany and visited Oldenburg and Jork. Missed the last Album? See Album 55 which covers our last days in Scotland and northern England before we catch the Newcastle ferry across to the Netherlands or use the UK and Europe map to select another or see the Route Map for Netherlands.
