Last saturday, we have visited the gorgeous city of Marken. It was actually an island, but now it is connected with the country by a causeway. On the causeway there is a bike route too. It was wonderful to ride with water on both sides.
Marken is also famous for its clog (wooden shoe) factory. It is a great place to buy something really dutch as a souvenir to your friends and family.
If you get hungry, you should also get ready for hungry sparrows joining you for lunch. They were flying from table to table. It was cute how they hunted for falling pieces.
Marken can be reached also on water. For those, who does not have an own sailing boat: Volendam Express cruise boats start every 45 mins to and from Volendam. Bikes can also be transported for additional fees. (http://www.markenexpress.nl/home)

If you look for the most suitable word for Marken, it might be CHARMING. It must be nice to live in such a nice and peaceful place.
And I guess it was the first time, I saw waterlilies, that are not white. :)
