Kinderdijk

DAY 9

When we woke up on the Viking Lofn this morning, it was so foggy outside that we couldn’t see the riverbank. By the time we arrived in Kinderdijk, the fog had lifted but it was still overcast and chilly — this after a week of near-perfect weather.

Our tour of the windmills was interesting but a little rushed because the ship was due to leave just two hours after we arrived. Our guide, Joop, showed us models of the windmill system and the parts of a windmill before we went out to see one. And then we were on to Amsterdam and our final port.
