We really wanted to relax and take a little break, so we didn't rush our morning and went to see the beautiful traditional dutch mills from Kinderdijk, a field with a lot of mills and a beautiful village next to Rotterdam. It's an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It's called Kinderdijk (the child's dike), because of an old legend: Long time ago, there was a nasty flooding in the area, and when it was gone, someone came to this dike to see if there is still someone or something that could be saved. And on the water there was a cradle with a baby girl and a cat, both dry and quiet :) And now they are sand sculptured.
The village is really beautiful, and wealthy, I'd say. This is a garden that could be seen from the road.
Isn't it beautiful?
There is only one windmill that can be visited from inside. There's not much activity to do, just explore the view. There are organised tours by boat, down the canal between the mills. Take your camera!
