Alkmaar was on our original list to visit, however it’s best to visit on a Friday to take in the weekly cheese market, which is held between March & November. Typical that we were unable to visit on a Friday but decided to have an overnight stop so we could take a quick look to say we’d been there. We dumped “The Ranch” on the site & took a walk down to the city & wasn’t disappointed, very nice place & imagine it would be lovely in the summer with all the outside seating/bars & restaurants. The Wag building was pretty impressive too. We picked up a bottle of the local advocaat to try. But no cheese!
