Skating on Kinderdijk's frozen canal
I went to Kinderdijk last Sunday (about 1 hour from Utrecht and 1.5 hours from Amsterdam). It was snowing but the die hard Dutch skaters were enjoying this typically Dutch winter sport. Hah, no one can stop them =)
This video was taken at the last hour of the day, around 17:30. Many people have left already for the day while a few were still going strong. I just finished having tea in the little cafeteria--after a loooong and cold (it was snowing) stroll on the frozen canal, I needed the hot tea so bad. Yes, that is a frozen canal on the video! Cool huh.
I also took lots of pictures by the way. When I am done with them uploading I will post another entry about Kinderdijk.
For those that do not know, Kinderdijk is a UNESCO world heritage site. This is the only place in the Netherlands and in the whole wide world that has a large concentration of (old and traditional) windmills. Kinderdijk has 19 of them and they are all in good working condition.
Visit Period: February 2012
Destination: Kinderdijk (South Holland), The Netherlands
