Amazing, the whole place is oozing with character, so many things to see and do. And we were very lucky with the weather. We could have done with an extra hour there. Do visit if you're ever in Amsterdam.

We had a great morning visiting Zaanse Schans. Our driver Mike was lovely and answered any questions people had. When we got there we had plenty of time to just wander about and take in the sights. We got to taste lots of yummy cheese and watch clogs get made while also having the tastiest hot chocolate ever! Overall a brilliant addition to our trip to the Netherlands!
