If you've got windmills on your mind, Zaanse Schans just outside Amsterdam is the place for you. It's a tiny village with half a dozen windmills picturesquely lined up along a canal. It's totally dedicated to tourism these days, with windmills kept working solely to please the camera-touting visitors. Although it's open all year round, old Cliffie wouldn't recommend a visit in the depth of winter: cracked ice along the canals, sleeting rain stinging the face. Mind you, you'll probably get a nice shot of the windmills with no grinning tourists to spoil the picture.
