Enkhuizen, The Netherlands
May 6
With a population of 17,000, this quaint town, although not like it was in the 17th century when 40,000 people lived here and a herring fleet of 400 boats kept this place bustling, still has a feel of days gone by. A lot quieter today and with its canals, trees, old-style homes, and just a bit of “something in the air” Enkhuizen is definitely the perfect place to take a deep breath and relax.
This was also the spot where we had a delightful home hosted visit with a local couple who regaled us with lots of stories and made sure we sampled a selection of typical alcoholic beverages!
