Hiking
In Alkmaar, the canal sprites chuckle, with Frisian spirit and seagull murmurs. Bridges poop echoes over green waves, and bicycles sail like crazy bells.
The houses laugh crookedly at the water's edge, shutters wobble to the rhythm of the hand. Cheese scent drifts through the quiet blue, and every canal has its own gray.
The boats chatter with a cheerful beat, they carry mustaches of rope and tax. A waiter waves quietly from the pier, “Another cheese platter?” – The answer: “Already hot!”

Alkmaar has a picturesque old town where you can also take a canal cruise if it didn't work out in Amsterdam 😉😁
