For our last big excursion, we decided to go to Alkmaar. Every Friday, they inspect the cheese and sell large quantities of it. We headed to Amsterdam Centraal and caught the train to Alkmaar, discovering that we still had to walk quite a distance to the market.
To open the event, an important person rings a bell (like opening the Stock Exchange).
The cheese is inspected and tasted.
Then carried off to be loaded into the trucks.
Watching these proceedings was quite hot and tiring, so after a coffee, a walk around town, and some cheese buying, we headed to the Beer Museum which required having a beer after.
We were exhausted on the way home!
