Catatan perjalanan di Netherlands - Volendam

17th November 2008


Selepas meninggalkan windmill, kami menuju ke Volendam. Sedikit info mengenai Volendam :


Volendam is a popular tourist attraction in the Netherlands, well-known for its old fishing boats and the traditional clothing still worn by some residents. The women's costume of Volendam, with its high, pointed bonnet, is one of the most recognizable of the Dutch traditional costumes, and is often featured on tourist postcards and posters (although there are believed to be fewer than 50 women now wearing the costume as part of their daily lives, most of them elderly). Volendam also features a small museum about its history and clothing style.


Di Volendam, kami berkesempatan untuk meninjau2 rumah2 disana yang begitu unik, terusan2 dicelah2 rumah. Kedai2 pula dibina diatas benteng yg memisahkan laut dan daratan. Kami juga berpeluang mendengar penerangan bagaimana diamond diproses di sini.
