The windmills of Kinderdijk, The Netherlands (2021)
Since it was impossible for us to travel outside of our own country during the covid pandemic, we decided to visit some of the local tourist attractions in the Netherlands. One of these was the location of the famous windmills of Kinderdijk. Normally a place with way too many tourists, it was now practically deserted making the experience really special.
