Thank you KC. I enjoyed and was good fun with your business partner too, the both of you. Good fish in Volendam and good laughs. Thank you sir for hiring and nice company. Much appreciated. All the best for you and your family.

The engineering of a windmill is incredible.

Remco showed us the workings of a sawmill windmill and areas outside Amsterdam. Friendly, knowledgeable, and energetic. Can customize the tour. Would highly recommend.
