Kinderdijk: Evening date with 🇳🇱 Windmills

During our trip to Rotterdam, we decided to stay overnight and explore the enchanting Kinderdijk windmills in the evening. These windmills are truly unique, standing tall as a testament to Dutch engineering and water management. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the 19 windmills of Kinderdijk have played a vital role in combating floods and reclaiming land from the water since the 18th century. Our original plan was to take a 40-min boat ride from Rotterdam Central to Kinderdijk, but unfortunately, we missed the boat schedule. However, we quickly adapted and hopped on a bus instead. It took us about an hour to reach the destination. As we arrived at Kinderdijk, the sight of these magnificent windmills against the picturesque landscape was absolutely breathtaking. Each windmill is a fascinating piece of history, showcasing intricate design and reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Netherlands. So, if you're in Rotterdam, make sure to plan a visit to Kinderdijk. Check the boat schedule in advance and plan your trip to witness these extraordinary windmills that have become an iconic symbol of Dutch heritage. It's an experience you won't want to miss! #netherlands #kinderdijk #windmills #unescoworldheritage

The Windmills of Santorini & History 🩵

There is historic importance of windmills in Santorini. Today just a few have been restored and some others have been transformed into inhabited houses or hotels while others still needs renovations. Around 70 historic Windmills in Santorini, some long time ago abandoned in the island as well as the capital of Thira (Fira) In our knowledge, the windmills were in use on Santorini as early as the 14th-century, however due to turbulent history (earthquakes and volcanic activity) none of these early settlement of structures remain standing to this day. Although you’ll still find handful of windmills remain on the island-as I mentioned above the most of them since has been converted into hotels, accommodations and holiday rental homes. Today’s Santorini windmills that remains in the island were constructed from the 17th-century onwards, then converted dating from the 18th-century. 📍Santorini #wecreate #visitsantorini #windmills #oia #greece #Greekislands #fira #firasantorini #seltravels #createwithtrip #summervacation #cyclades

Bangui Windmills

Getting There - There is no direct bus, best accessible by own transport Attractions - The sight of the 70-meter high Windmills Hotels - No hotels at location Food & Restaurants - Snacks stalls located at the entrance. Shopping - Souveniers stalls located at the entrance The Bangui Wind Farm is a popular stop for many people to take some stunning photos. 20 units of 70-meter high windmills alongside Bangui Bay will provide sceneries you'd want to capture for a lifetime. The Bangui Wind Farm is located all the way at the northwestern tip of Philippines' Luzon Island, in the Province of Ilocos Norte. The windmills form a gracefully shaped arc that reflect the shoreline alongside Bangui Bay, and face the West Philippine Sea. Due to Ilocos' location between the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea, the province tends to have more wind than most others in the Philippines. This makes for just a great place for one of Southeast Asian's biggest wind farms. In fact it was the biggest until the Burgos Wind Farm took the title in the year 2014. Aside from learning about the specifics and history of the Bangui Windmills; you most likelylo want to go there to take some swell pictures to keep and share. Best to go during the daytime as the windmills are not lighted at night. You can even ride horses for 100 PHP and several souvenir stalls are aligned at the entrance where you can buy some souvenirs like little windmills. You also have the opportunity to drink and eat some at the entrance of the site; so for your day trip through Ilocos Norte, you can happily spend one or two hours at this particular touristic attraction. #bangui #windmills #ilocos #philippines
