I love Zaanse Schans! Where is your photo with the big wooden shoes? Good tips anyway, especially the smell of cocoa. The cheese samples are free! I ate them for lunch.

Funny how all visitors always find their way to the Zaansche Schans. Anyway, it is a nice place to roam around. Nice page, keep up the good work. Greets from NL, Paul
