One of my favorite stops on our cruise was a tour of a place where they still make and sell wooden clogs. The tour leader explained that some of the Dutch still wear them for gardening. They are hard and strong, apparently very sturdy in the mud. I remember as a little girl my aunt bringing me a pair after her trip to The Netherlands. I loved them.
These were some of the antique clogs on display. I was so impressed.
They also sold wooden tulips as a decoration. They look so pretty in a vase, on the dining table. One of the ladies on our cruise set them with her guests at dinner, as a centerpiece.
It was a special and quaint day trip. I love taking the excursions when I travel. All you have to do is show up and get on the bus. Everything is organized for you.
