Day 39: Exploring North Holland and the Zuiderzee Museum

We spent the day together on a road trip up to Northern Holland to explore the Zuiderzee Museum.  If you haven’t been there, it’s a great place to take the family as there are a ton of hands on activities and different things to see and do. The Zuiderzee Museum recreates what life might have been like in 19th Century Dutch life. Some of the buildings are recreated and some were moved from other locations to sit and be part of the Zuiderzee village. I’ll post several pictures to share a bit about what it’s like, in case you might like to also see it.

A water view of the village. So pretty, right?

Me, a little frightened!  Actually, a Gaper, that was typically found outside a pharmacy building. Isn’t this funny? There were several different ones and they all made me smile and creeped me out a bit.

A hungry fish, we gave our last bits of cheese too.
