Hoorn - Zuiderzee museum

Friday's weather looks good so we shake off our lethargy and head north a little way in the car. Our destination is the open air museum at Enkhuisen, which shows life as it was around the Zuiderzee. It's fascinating to walk around the recreated villages and see just how tough life was before the dams were built and the floods tamed. It's school hols so there are lots of extra activities for the kids.
PS for those that are wondering, like me, North (where we are) and South Holland are 2 of the 11 states of the Netherlands.
