Kinderdijk was a fitting end to a fabulous trip with Viking River Cruises along the Danube, Main, and Rhine rivers in Europe. Dianne and I elected the optional tour of a river barge trip to see a working windmill, and we were richly rewarded. The non-profit that maintains 3 museum-mills and 16 working mills was well-designed to preserve the Netherlands traditional industry. Robert the miller showed us the inside of the mill, and Jan led us through the garden and along the dyke pathway. What a memory we’re left with - history and heritage preserved. Kudos to Viking for leading us along these waterways.
