It is astounding the number of cheeses you can find in Holland! I have not found American or Cheddar yet… but plenty of variety for sure!
On Friday we went to the famous cheese market in Alkmaar (check it out here) It is unbelievable! It is a reinactment of how the cheese was brought to market, via boats, then judged, weighed and purchased by shop owners. We of course had to buy some cheese also….Roy’s passion. And yes, Brig, we got you some.
The cheese laid out for inspection
Blue shirts load the carts
They carry the cheese on these sleds, quickly to be weighed, and then to the carts.
Here they go, insinc with each other... or it doesn't work!

The weighing house and the canal that leads to it.
And that is our cheese experience!
On our way back to the car, Winke took us through the red light district…. very interesting, but no photo’s foks!
