It was cold and drizzly outside, basically what you would expect for a December Christmas market cruise along the European Rhine. The difference with today was that we would be trading in the festive holiday markets for windmills. <em>Lots of them.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-85b08467 gb-headline-text\"><em><br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25249\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2015\/03\/IMG_6620-copy-1024x683.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Kinderdijk Windmills in Netherlands\" style=\"width: 500px;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2015\/03\/IMG_6620-copy-1024x683.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2015\/03\/IMG_6620-copy-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_6620-copy.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><br><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our&nbsp;boat ported right across the street from the Kinderdijk Windmills, the largest concentration of old mills in the Netherlands. Though it was optional to go on a tour of them, there was no way I would be passing up seeing this <a href=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/unesco-world-heritage-sites\/\">UNESCO World Heritage site<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A little cold and sprinkle could not keep me away.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25251\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_4898.jpg\" alt=\"Annette White at the Kinderdijk Windmills in Netherlands\" style=\"width: 500px;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_4898.jpg 640w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2015\/03\/IMG_4898-300x225.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Walking across the street, I could see the&nbsp;unique collection of 19 windmills in the distance, sporadically placed. A group of us from the cruise met up with a guide who gave us a quick lesson on how structures&nbsp;were made and their usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in the day some of these mills were used to make paint, others pressed oil or crushed stone. In 1574 someone was even genius enough to make a windmill to saw wood, which resulted in a lot of timber. But, today these were used for pumping water to prevent sea-water from flooding the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A very innovative water management system.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only are they an intricate design for excess water, but they are also homes. Of the nineteen on premise, which were built between&nbsp;<em>1738 and 1740,<\/em>&nbsp;only three are unoccupied, one of which you could take a peek inside of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-8763c8ec\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-8763c8ec\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_6656-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Kinderdijk Windmills in Netherlands\" title=\"Windmills Netherlands\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_6656-copy.jpg 900w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2015\/03\/IMG_6656-copy-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2015\/03\/IMG_6656-copy-1024x683.jpg.webp 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Surprising, the interior of the windmill seemed pretty roomy, possibly even larger than a New York City apartment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Though, the tenant waiting list may be longer. Seriously.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, in order to live&nbsp;in a Kinderdijk windmill you must have your Miller&#8217;s certification which teaches you the skills necessary to safety operate a mill and can take years to obtain. But, in return you get to call a Dutch icon home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-78a5d963\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-78a5d963\" src=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_6639-copy.jpg\" alt=\"Inside of a Kinderdijk Windmills in Netherlands\" title=\"Windmills Netherlands\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/IMG_6639-copy.jpg 800w, https:\/\/bucketlistjourney.net\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2015\/03\/IMG_6639-copy-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\"> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-base-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-base-background-color has-background is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><em><strong>Details:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em>Kinderdijk is a port on the Viking River Cruise <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vikingrivercruises.com\/cruise-destinations\/europe\/rivers\/rhine\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rhine Getaway<\/a> tour, though it can also be easily reached from Rotterdam and Utrecht using a tour company.
