| At the end of the school holidays ,many towns put on a festival. We were in Woerden when we heard the brass band strike put their tune. Lots of people from the community were involved. |
 |
| Kids with decorated bikes -dressed up as cartoon characters and as in this case Smurfs made a great show . |
 |
| This is a replica of a Roman boat which was dug out of the river which flows through the town . Woerden has a rich history going back all that way. |
 |
The local shopping street. Most towns in Holland have strip shopping , with cars completely excluded.
|
Hoorn has a cheese market - a re-enactment of how things went in by-gone years - once a week during the summer holidays.
The dealing is done by the men in suits - and confirmed with the slap of hands.
The market square is well used and the beautiful Frisian horses really seem to enjoy being part of the action. Hoorn is a really old town - you might be able to see how the walls of some of the buildings lean into the street.
The local child minding centre had a very cute way of transporting their charges.
 |
| Everyone involved in the market did a little dance at the end. |
Annemieke and Patrick took us for a discovery tour of Woerden.They discovered almost as much as we did!
