We took some photos of the Stayok at Heemskerk (a converted medieval castle) before we left in the morning.

On route we travelled on this small self operated chain ferry. Ferries like this are common in the Netherlands due to the many inland waterways.

Later we passed through Edam, famous of course for its cheese.

Of course, we could not resist a stop at this pretty waterside cafe as we neared Amsterdam after a day’s riding…
