Nuno got to take a bus tour out of Amsterdam near the end of his 3 month stay. The tour group rode eastwards towards a small community reachable across a 2 km long dike stretching across a man-made lake created out of the stranded waters of the North Sea! Nuno gives you the lowdown on one of the most important Dutch settlement in centuries past, before the Enclosure Dike (The Afsluitdijk) closed off the salty sea waters, thus ending Marken’s reign in the fishing industry.
