At last!

The last day of the holidays and the famous five set off excitedly on their bicycles (or a Dacia Duster if your reading the 2014 edition) for their last adventure before it was time to go home...

Our first stop today was the lively little fishing village of Volendam, where we ate ice-cream while watching the yachts sail in and out of the harbor, bought tacky souvenirs for our friends, and tried on some shoes!

Next stop, after a row with the satellite navigation system in the car, was Zaanse Schans. And, at last, what I had been waiting for for the whole trip.  A windmill!  Or several.

Obviously I was delighted!  And so were the bus loads of Chinese people who also came to visit the windmills.  I airbrushed them out of this picture.  We had to wait for a gap in the crowd to be able to take this!

Then it was time to go home...

I think we wore him out.  But, at last, we got a reprieve from the terrible jokes.

Although before he dropped of for a snooze, he did say that he wished he had more daughters who would bring him away on trips like this one.  And I'd like to think that that wasn't one of his jokes!!

Ps... Mam never did find that cake shop!
