Earlier this month Marcel and I hired a car for the day, heading north our goal was to spend some time together just the two of us and see a couple of places!
We drove to a place called Hoorn, once a thriving coastal port and in the towns heyday had its own currency. We had a wonderfully, roaming time.
Hoorn ~ Canal
Hoorn ~ Guard gate
Hoorn ~ Habour
After Hoorn we continued north, over the dike and into Friesland to the childhood village of Marcel's mum.
Friesland countryside ~ old bike
Quintessance of Holland ~ the windmill
Common farmhouse
Working the canals and roadways ~ sailboat moving over the autos
On this day we visited the village of Marcel's mum, saw the old house and visited the graveyard. In all we traveled about 300Km that day - for a couple of four wonderful children we enjoyed stepping out of our normal routine for the day and simply hanging out together ... yep, it was a special day.
