PhotoHunt: Triangle (and more on Volendam, Netherlands)





This Triangle shaped entrance stood out for me while I was exploring around the small town of Volendam (Wikipedia) in the Netherlands.

This is where I had my first taste of those wonderful miniature Dutch pancakes called "Poffertjes".  It was interesting watching how they make them.

 
The small town of Volendam is rather touristy but also charming at the same time.   They have these colorful houses which although may look similar on the outside boasts that every door is uniquely different. I, of course, had to check this out and sure enough, it is true. 

 
I walked around a bit more while sampling my plate of yummy Poffertjes and also saw these really cool old fishing boats with their triangle shaped sailing lines. :)

  1. I like your unique approach to triangle. I never made it to this town. I did write it off as too touristy but I think it would be fun especially off-season.

  5. Hi Everyone, thanks so much for your comments . . . .

    Marta, Volendam was pretty touristy but it was a pleasant stop and I enjoyed our brief walk around the town and off season very quiet, like having the town to ourselves. :)

    Annie, thanks for liking my photos. I think you'd love those mini pancakes. I liked it so much I had it again the next day in this other town. :)

    Anne, I think your inner child and my inner child would get along so well. :) It is a very fun word and a yummy little snack.

    YTSL, you were thinking right. :) I had a very cool time exploring around with my Poffertjes.

    Thanks so much everyone for liking my photo and for your kind comments.
