22 - 25 August
Sailed to Hoorn. Very narrow entrance into attractive tree lined harbour but only stayed 1 night.
Sailed to Volendam. Very touristy, but attractive, with the harbour lined by restaurants, cafes, souvenir and 'your photograph in Dutch costume' shops (very popular with children).
We cycled to Edam for a day out. Attractive place where we strolled around for some time. Interesting cheese museum where we bought an Edam cheese. An extraordinarily large church for the size of village, with a impressive and interesting interior.
Short motor across the bay to Marken, an island attached to the mainland by a dyke built in 1950's. Old houses were built on piles although now filled in with another floor, with painted wooden gables. Cycled around most of perimeter of island. Very popular with day trippers.
