It was time to leave Belgium, but our adventure wasn't over! Next stop...the Netherlands! We were visiting over Easter and had trouble finding an affordable apartment in Amsterdam, so we decided to stay at a hotel in Leiden instead. It actually worked out really well because we were not far from the Keukenhof Gardens (just wait until you see those pics!) and close enough to Amsterdam to easily visit for the day. On the way to our hotel, we decided to stop in Kinderdijk, a UNESCO World Heritage Sight , where you can view 19 windmills that were built around 1740. Kinderdijk was a nice place to stop and stretch our legs, but did not live up to the hype for me. Maybe it was because it was cold and raining on and off? It was nice to walk along the water and go inside a working windmill where a family used to sleep but it was so crowded with tourists that it was a bit hard to appreciate. My advice? Stop at Kinderdijk if it is not far our of your way or if it's a beautiful day. It makes for some fun pictures! Enjoy!
