Enkhuizen.

Zuiderzee Museum in Enkhuizen, an open-air museum reflecting village life
around the Zuiderzee throughout history. Most of the buildings in the
museum come from other locations in the Netherlands.

The day Pat toured this open air museum, kids were having fun
being dressed
in traditional Dutch costume.

The cruise passengers were divided into small groups for a
visit to the home of a local family for good conversation and
treats, including a stroopwafel, a thin, waffle-like
cookie sandwich with a sweet chewy center. Yummy!
Our hostess walked with us from her home back toward the harbor
area. Here is a muscovy duck in one of the canals.

Hema store in Enkhuizen
Hema is a Dutch discount retail chain that appears to be
like Wal-Mart. Almost any town of any significance in the
Netherlands has one.
Entertainment on board ship that night. A local folk group
came aboard dressed in traditional costume and danced for us.
