Volendam & Edam

After Marken we decided to return to the cheese & clogs farm for the night. We made sure we arrived early so that we could get into the normal (not time restricted) MH parking. After parking up we got on our bikes again to cycle the 1/2 km into Volendam.
 
The houses in Vollendam are built on the dyke. The sun was out and the town was really busy - it had quiet a nice atmosphere.

A short cycle ride along the coast from Volendam and we arrived in Edam, which is a moderate sized modern town with a small pretty old centre. The windmill above was on the outskirts of Edam.

There had been a Dutch sailing barge race during the day. When we returned to Vollendam again in the evening, after having supper in Kiki, the harbour was full of boats.
