After a good breakfast and making our lunches we headed off with Sietse from Hoorn on a big high dike. The barge was leaving also on it's way to Enkhuizen. Here we stopped to wave at the barge.
A beautiful property.
Along the dike we came across a windmill. Later my USA friends also passed by the same windmill and sent me a photo.
Our lunch stop cafe also had a giant chess board.
A nice archway

Josephine and I went for a tour of the Zuiderzee Museum, an outdoor museum where all the structures have been brought brick by brick from different places in the Netherlands.T
he Zuiderzee Museum, located on Wierdijk in the historic center of Enkhuizen, is a Dutch museum devoted to preserving the cultural heritage and maritime history from the old Zuiderzee region. You will see authentic buildings and learn all kinds of things about life around the Zuiderzee between 1880 and 1930 - in other words, the last years before the completion of the Afsluitdijk in 1932. There are workshops, fish smokehouses ...and net makers, and you can visit Urk homes and share a meal in a 1920 household.People are dressed in traditional costumes and the museum has the largest collection of wooden ships in Holland.
There were lots of wooden boats.

We had so much fun with these 4 people. We spoke Dutch and had a personal tour.
Tug of war with eel skin- they use it to make shoelaces.
We read this poem which was given to us by Lubbent.
