Day #148-150: Sight seeing Holland!

Since my cousin Nathan came here, we've seen places here in Holland I've never been before. Well at least I don't remember it. I know we went there when I was little, but it was great to go there again.

On Thursday we went to Volendam, a typically tourist spot...well-known for its old fishing boats and the traditional clothing still worn by some residents. There are tons of these cute souvenir shops, with typical dutch things like: clogs, delfsblue pottery, wind mills & much more... here are some pretty hand painted clogs...

We rented some bikes and just went site-seeing & entered tons of these cute souvenir shops...

At the end we decided to go to this studio to have our photos taken in old Dutch customes... It was so much and the photo is so cool. I didn't took this photo myself, but did added a logo for the blog here. On the left you see my guy and me, in the middle is my cousin Nathan and on the right you see my little brother melvin and his GF Kiki, isn't it cute? :)

On Friday, Nathan, Melvin and I went to the cheesemarket in Alkmaar, another great tourist place. It was fun to see and hear how it all worked back in the days, this is the only place in Holland where they have these markets on Friday... here you see the cheese carriers and in the back you see two men, a buyer and a seller... They are talking about the price of the cheese

Just a couple of more shots of the cheese weighing station, a typical Dutch milk/cheese girl and of melvin and Nathan romanticly eating some cheese... Really these two guys together are just hilarious sometimes!! LOL 

Then for Day #150... I went to this castle nearby to take some family photos of my colleague Mieke, her DH and cute kids... It was fun, but it was a little hard too. But I think the photos turned out good! Here's one of them I like...

Ok one more of wich I think is pretty cute :)  

Now I've got to go take a shower, cause we're bringing Abdel's parents to the airport. They're going to Morocco for two months and I'm so going to miss them!! After that we're going to the beach with some our cousins and spend the day there. It will be lots of fun for sure!!!

But before I go I need to announce the winner or my little $5 GC give-away... So drumroll please, the winner is...
