Dordrecht(NLD)



Today is Thursday, June 14th.
II decided to stay at this Dordrecht hostel for another night, that is, a total of 2 nights.
There is a purpose of restoring physical strength.
Today, I will go to see the windmill of Kinderdijk.

The course going to Rotterdam tomorrow overlaps with today's course.

I have a lot of things to do at Rotterdam tomorrow so I decided to end the sightseeing of Kinderle Dyke windmill in today.

I will run on a bike dedicated road next to a motorway exclusive road.

When the Rhine entered the Netherlands, it divided into Pannerdensch Kanaal (Nederrijn) and Waal river. Nederrijn is further divided into Amsterdam-Rijnkanaal and the Lek River. That Lek River is this.
1239
It is Kinderdijk.
1240
Because there is something like receptionist, I thought that "admission fee may be necessary", but it is different. It is a ticket office of a pleasure boat. I go inside by a bicycle.
1251
Whether it is a live windmill or an unused windmill can not be distinguished.
This windmill is not rotating now. In July and August it seems that windmills are running all at once.
It is said that the wind power to rotate the windmill is 3 m to 10 m / s. And it is said that about 10% can be used as power.

The mesh windmill is not rotating.

Today is June 14th. This windmill is roating. There is a hood on the rotating wing.
1311
This place seems to be the place with the best view.
The windmill here seems to rotate only on summer holidays. Today it is stopped.
There are many people riding bicycles here.
Well, I will return to the hostel.
1347
The bicycles of housewives of the Netherlands generally have such side bags. In the Netherlands, it seems that bicycles are called fiets.
1409
Bicycle path running along exclusive road
1414
This way will continue for a long time.
It seems like a cycling with a good friend.
1438
This is the scenery of the bicycle of the shopping housewife.
She will go shopping to C1000 which is ahead.
I am going to do so.
1609
I ran toward C1000 and arrived at Jumbo.
The shop where I thought it was c 1000 was actually Jumbo.
Were all C1000s replaced by Jumbo?
Dormitory room for 6 people, I used it alone.
It is a campsite behind the youth hostel.
I did not use this time.
