At the end of today, we are staying in a windmill!
We packed the car, it took a couple of trips, we also pre-packed the adventure bag for a few days so we didnt need to drag out the big suitcase. jPots, adventure mugs and groceries wobbled on the back-seat along with our adventure laptops, kindles and cameras.
Our first stop was at the Delft pottery and spent a couple of hours exploring the history and lots of amazing pottery and artwork in traditional blues. We explored the ancient garden then settled for lunch. I had hummus with pine nuts and roasted toms on a seeded role and lovely salad with balsamic dressing. Matt had goats cheese with honey and again a great salad.
We plugged in the next address into TomTom, and traffic was slow. google maps alerted us to delays and re-routed - much to the protest of TomTom.
We were given a tour of the windmill - I wont lie, the stairs are curly and steep. The bottom floor is a large kitchen, the middle floor is the living room and curly stairs lead up the bedroom. The is also another virtually vertical stair case at the base of the bed to the top floor - but we declined. The host gave us a detailed tour, and helped us plan our adventures and left us with a bottle of something bubbly.
We settled in, then took a walk into the little village at the end of the street. Matt purchased milk and we took home hot chips which I dipped into my curry ketchup (I am bringing back many bottles of this).
