Windmill 't Nupke, Geldrop, the NetherlandsWhat better place to visit with foreign (Belgium) friends than a windmill? In the little town of Geldrop, where we lived in before we moved to Taiwan, one can visit the still (part-time) functional windmill 't Nupke. On Saturday, it's open to the public and the two voluntary millers are there to give a tour and explanation about the mill.
Emma hoisting a 25 kg bag of grain The inner mechanics of even this rather simple corn-mill are amazing; everything is handcrafted from wood and the huge mill stones weigh 1500 kg each. The miller explained that the Netherlands know the biggest variety of applications of windmills in the world. Not really surprising, is it?

Say cheese! Say what?
