Edam to Amsterdam

A local sharpens his scythe while chatting up a musician.
We stop by this store to see what treasures we might find...
I found this cute sheep who we named Heineken.
Stopping in to visit a cheese factory....
where we get to sample cheese...
and learn about how they make cheese...mmmm, my favorite!
This church was built in the 1620's and has beautifully restored...this is the same town where the book Hans Brinker or the Silver Skates originated.



These Delft blue tiles tell biblical stories...
Then back on the bikes for the last leg to Amsterdam...
Here we catch the ferry across the canal to the Amsterdam train station.
We were all hungry and stopped for falafels just out side the Amsterdam train station.
We'd completed the entire trip and covered 475 miles by bicycle! Seeing Holland on bicycle was an experience I will look back on with many fun memories.
