This was such a unique experience. I only wish I could have stayed more than one night. Two or three would have been great to see more of the local area. It was so peaceful there. I was getting a bit anxious when I arrived on my flight to Amsterdam. The city is filled with so many tourists, and I thought I would surely die trying to cross a street with all of the bicycles, cars, trams and trains to dodge. The juxtaposition of the energy of the city and the quietness of the windmill on the edge of town was interesting to witness. The windmill itself is actually conveniently located to many restaurants. You are not out in the middle of nowhere. Yet, it is calm and relaxing. Roel was a great host. He gave me a tour of the windmill and explained how he runs it as a miller. I found it very interesting. The accommodations themselves were very comfortable and clean. The next morning Roel had prepared breakfast which was a pleasant surprise. I would definitely stay there again.
