18 July 2015, Volendam and Edam
Today, we visited some town near Amsterdam. From Amsterdam Central
Station we took bus from bus terminal that located behind train station. We
bought bus pass that allowed us to stop at some town. First, we stopped at
Volendam.
Volendam is a
fishing village, just around 20 kilometres from Amsterdam. It is a
very touristic spot with a great view and lots of shops. Besides the the souvenir
shops, there were also shops that provided costume for tourists to wear and
take photo. Just walked around the area, we can see small canal with houses
along the canal.

Today, we planned to visit Kinderdjik. We took train from Schiphol to
Utrecht Centraal Station (around 30 minutes) then we continued by bus 90 (Rotterdam Zuidplein) goes to Alblasserdam. Bus 90 is the only one that stops at the entrance of the Kinderdijk. Kinderdjik is a small village where we can find 19 windmills which
were built in the 1500s.

souvenir shop with a street on the left side, just follow the street, it
leads us to ticket booth. With the entrance fee Eur 7.5 (adult) and Eur 5.5 (child 4-12 years old), we can enter the site.
