Zaanse Schans, Netherlands - Near the Historical Dutch Windmills
My life is more organized than last year 2023. I am learning about myself and acknowledging my self-worth. This sentence has a huge meaning but to be honest, writing about it is not as difficult as acknowledging the solemnity of these words. No matter how difficult my days are due to mental issues, I am moving forward slowly. Not every day is a good day but I am learning to accept bad days and emotions.
Spring is coming and this year I am also planning to visit some locations. I am not so sure yet where to go but it will be somewhere in the Netherlands. Probably I will spend my day near the canals or vast tulip fields. Who knows. So many beautiful locations in the Netherlands I haven't seen yet so they are ready for exploration. Besides I noticed tourists have also started arriving in the Netherlands for excursions so before it gets busy, I will plan my day-out trips.
Last year during springtime, I have visited some amazing locations in the Netherlands. One of them was Zaanse Schans (can't pronounce it properly still), a beautiful Dutch village with historical windmills (Molen). This site is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is popular for its famous Holland windmills. I can't say how much time it took me to reach there because before going to this village, I went to see another location called Zaandam.
Zaandam is a city and Zaanse Schans is a Dutch neighborhood in Zaandam. Well, now Zaanse Schans is a famous tourist sighting spot for Windmills and to taste cheese. In this village, not only you will be able to see beautiful Dutch villages and windmills but also you will be able to taste immersive flavored Dutch Old cheese. I really had a great time seeing the cultural Dutch history and beautiful green wooden cottage houses in the village that day.
I will post more details soon on my personal travel profile...

I would love to visit this place, I couldn't do it during my trip to the Netherlands, anyway I'm really captured by the fact that it is a UNESCO heritage site, the windmills are at least the closest thing to a well preserved history of this country. Very nice pictures, and I'm glad you are more organized than last year, it's important not to lose focus and improve a little bit day by day. I send you a hug!
You can also visit inside one of the windmills and get to know about the mechanism. There was a windmill that made pigment and it was so interesting, I had never seen anything like that before. Thank you so much for the wonderful words...
