Volendam

Volendam is a nice and small village. Previously, this village is a fishing village. As fishermen were quite poor, so their house is very small.After the dam built, fisherman no longer can fishing again, so this village became tourist area. All the houses here had a big window! As they will have the most pretty window competition every year.So you can saw every house had a nicely decorated window.
It was once sea before on my right. But now it become a lake. It is because previously there were serious flood in this area due to holland land is lower than sea level. So they build a dam to separate outer sea and inner sea. Wow! Just imagine how big the project was. Slowly, the inner sea getting water from 5 rivers and now the water is not salt water anymore. Indirectly, it became a giant lake.
Local activity beside the sea.

So nice the marry go round. Cannot find in Malaysia! Allysa kept on mumble that she will definitely bought it if she was not backpack. When think of her giant "elephant" luggage, she lost all the shopping mood.
The street full with tourists and shops.
The food on Volendam. It look like seafood tempura. Actually the food at the other store look more attractive. However the price also very attractive! Double the price here.
Our E10 lunch... shared among both of us. The conclusion was... the food is not tasty at all!
