Pampus

Before and after restoration

We are back in our home country. As always, time to enjoy old favorites (especially food wise) and see some new things. New things for the girls, but in this case also for mum, Opa and Oma!

Pampus is a man-made island built in he late 1800's in order to protect Amsterdam from enemy attacks. In recent years it has been restored to some of its former glory and you can now take a boat trip from Muiden and visit the island.

In Holland we have a saying that says: 'ik lig voor Pampus!' (I am lying for Pampus), freely translated this means that you are out cold.

Also came across an old favorite while we were there :)
