Captain Fluffy was in an adventurous mood today. Normally he doesn’t leave the boat if there isn’t a finger dock, but now he had discovered that another boat functions perfectly well as finger dock. Within the blink of an eye he was up and over the neighbouring boat and frolicking about in the grass.
After Captain Fluffy had his fun we did a bit of exploring ourselves and set out to the historic centre of Edam. Edam is a beautiful little city. If it wasn’t for the cars parked here and there it could have been an open air museum. Funny, we’ve been to several historical towns and cities so far, but somehow this one looked more real. Most buildings date from the 17th century and there’s even an old shipyard that is still in use in the middle of the town. We like it here. It’s a friendly town, people are smiling and relaxed. And even though there are quite a few tourists about it doesn’t feel like a touristic place. We enjoyed the scenery and the people passing by whilst enjoying an ice cream in the sunshine. Life is good.
