Day 20 - Kinderdijk

We had a leisurely morning cruising the Rhine. After lunch we visited Kinderdijk, a site where there are 16 windmills. They were used to pump water from the polders into reservoirs to keep the polders from flooding. About half of the Netherlands is reclaimed land and much is below sea level.












 We saw this replica of Noah's Ark while cruising this morning.
