This weekend is called pasdagen, which is basically Easter, a big event where everybody spends with their families and Netherlands gets next Monday off. So its a great long weekend for everybody. And time for me to write some more.
Today I’m going to introduce you to Schiedam, which is just next to Rotterdam. Schiedam is one hour away from Amsterdam, but it is the home of the famous Holland Gin, or Jenever. Of course Schiedam has those pretty canals like most Dutch cities.
I’ve only been to one place in Schiedam, but thats the place of the Jenever Museum, which has a selection of Jenever liquor. It ain’t that expensive (4.80EUR) and you’ll get a personal tour guide to walk you through the making of Jenever. As I might as mentioned before, if you have the museumkaart.nl (Which costs about 23EUR if you are under 24), you can pay a visit to the museum for free. Even showing you the huge barrels which you ferment the alcohol. And yes, people have fallen into the huge barrels by accident. It’s boiling you know. And you don’t want to waste that much of alcohol. Okay, then use your imagination.
There are even trolls un-welcoming you to the stores. I really love the shop windows in the Netherlands.
And a tasting in the end. Just a few euros for that shot of Jenever.
Well, Schiedam is a nice quaint city everyone should at least pay a visit if you have the time.
