On our last day of cycling, the weather was kind to us. No rain, no wind and even a bit of sun, plenty of people were of course also on the way, of course, at the end of the day in Horn's pedestrian zone we had coffee and delicious cake.

Another lovely mix of Dutch things!
You drive along the water most of the time anyway.
This time an open-air museum was added (worth seeing, but very busy: around 1,900,000 visitors visit the Zaanse Schans open-air museum every year!)
Then it got a bit quieter again until Monikendamm, where there is a lovely harbour.
