Typically Dutch: wind mills

Before my departure from the Czech Republic, I was thinking about some typical Dutch stuff... I came up with these:
#1 flat landscape
#2 orange colour
#3 wooden shoes
#4 legal hash
#5 wind mills
#6 tasty cheese
#7 colourful tulips
#8 everpresent bikes (+ enormous sefety chains)
#9 ...and some areas situated below the sea level

During my stay here, I'll have to come to know all of them. This time, the first "sightseeing weekend" I went for #5: wind mills!


Yesterday before the Happy hour, I met Jonas, my friend from Germany, and 3 other German guys at the office. They are from the expansion team of AIESEC in Iran and arrived to find some information in the AI library as well as to get in touch with their MENA director Tamer. It was nice to meet again!
They also decided to join the CEEDers (Gwen, Zeno, me) for this trip to the windmills. This is our group:

In Kinderdijk

Windmills of Kinderdijk
Kinderdijk is a small village near Rotterdam, you can go there by bike or by boat. Bike is for sure cheaper and more adventurous, but once Rotterdam is the biggest port in the world, let's try a boat.

The cruise took 1 hour (one way). After a short walk, we became surrounded by tens of windmills. The weather was partly sunny, partly drizzly, which created a special atmosphere.

The weather was "quite OK", it rained only 3 times:)
You can notice quite specific building of Unilever on the left.
