A side trip to Volendam/Edam

A friend came to visit and we took a day trip to Volendam, a popular tourist destination where one can see traditional fishing boats. Well it wasn't so popular in winter as in summer.

The temperature was hovering around zero Celcius so there was a thin layer of ice on the pond. Some birds were standing on the thin ice and it looked as if they were walking on water. Jesus birds, quipped my friend.

The harbour. The weather was not so great and we ended up sheltering in a cafe for part of the time.
