Creator's Key Takeaways

We're heading to Haarlem for the day, where we'll find nature in Kenaupark, admire the historic Windmill De Adriaan, stroll past St. Bavo Church, get in some shopping and snacking

It was a nice day. It was definitely a sightseeing day more than a doing things day because a lot of things were closed.

The lunch that we had was amazing. It was just a really nice day.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Don't walk in the bike paths and watch out when crossing them in the Netherlands.
βœ“Take advantage of special shuttles offered by the ship when available.
βœ“If you've planned a place before, you don't always have to have a plan; sometimes winging it is better.
