A spot of lunch and then from Kinderdijk it was south to Belgium, passing through Antwerp and westwards to Bruges.
The modern overthrow, not quite as charming.
Windmills at Kinderdijk, just east of Rotterdam, traditionally used to regulate water levels in the polders. An elegant solution, now mostly superseded by electric and diesel pumping stations.
As if empathetically, the clouds lowered and the rain drifted down. We left to pursue the border of the Netherlands just a few kilometres to the west, then cut across it to Holland and increasingly artificial shorelines.
