Amsterdam - Here I Come - Part 7 (Volendam 1)

Selepas lunch dan solat, kami keluar semula untuk meninjau-ninjau Volendam fisherman's village lagi... walaupun masih hujan renyai...

best jugak main hujan ni...

Oleh kerana hari hujan, ianya agak membataskan kami untuk menikmati aktiviti di situ, ditambah lagi dengan cuaca yang amatlah sejuknya!

"What Women Want".. hmmm... saya suka nama kedai ni :)

Puas jugak main hujan ni... :))

Cuma sayang sekali tak dapat nak naik cruise ke Marken kerana faktor cuaca.. kapal tak belayar..

mmmm... apa yang ada di Marken ni ye?



Marken is a village in the Waterland and Zaan Region, North Holland, Netherlands on a peninsula in the IJsselmeer lake. It is known for its characteristic wooden houses and traditional costumes. It used to be an island in the former Zuiderzee, but is now connected to the mainland by a causeway.

This picturesque little village was originally situated on an island. Floods were regular and often disastrous. To protect their belongings and themselves from the water, the inhabitants created artificial dwelling hills on which they build their houses. As fishery became the main economic activity, the population grew rapidly. When the Afsluitdijk was finished in 1932 and the IJsselmeer lake created, access to the sea was blocked and fishery activities almost came to an end. When a dike between Marken and the mainland was built in 1957, Marken ceased to be an island. Nevertheless, the village still has the look and feel of a fishermen's town and an island. For over a century, it has drawn in visitors who wanted to have a glance at its traditional costumes and picturesque houses.
