Kinderkijk, Holland

Hello to The Netherlands! The teacher in me LOVED this port, because I learned SO much about windmills, dykes, and the reclamation of land in Holland.  Our tour of the Kinderdijk community of working windmills and other ingenious flood management technology.  We learned how the Low Countries have managed the regular flooding they have experienced for centuries.

We even toured inside one of the working windmills constructed in 1738.

Sad to say farewell to our amazing Viking River Cruise.  Tomorrow, we fly home, where we can't wait to hug our family.
