Today I have two shore excursions. The morning was to North Holland to see the vegetable auction. It is quite chilly today. It started to rain, but turned to snow and hail . It did not last long, but it was surprising to see white stuff on the ground. Holland really does have dikes everywhere. It is weird knowing that the water is above you on the other side of the dike. We saw windmills and our guide at the auction was really good. We are back on board for lunch and will take a walking tour of the town this afternoon.
We did a short walking tour and then we went to the home of a Dutch couple for coffee and cake. This gave us the opportunity to see how a typical Dutch family lives.
