We chose a different place to take our dinner. We decided to be in Marken for a change. Marken is not too crowded and amazed to see how truly the water and land meet at the same level when the tide is on its highest.

One of the last isolated villages on the IJsselmeer. You cab get there by car over the dike and park at the outskirts, but the boat from Amsterdam stops right in the center.
