I can't remember the weight of these cheeses but a "volunteer" from the crowd had a hard time. |
 |
Some of the Edams are hauled away in these carts |
 |
These were headed to a nearby stall or shop. |
 |
Trucks took most of the purchases away. |
 |
I had the distinct feeling that this was not a costume. |
 |
Enough with the cheese already! Alkmaar is a beautiful dutch town. |
 |
This is the front of the kaas Huis. The latin translates (roughly) to: "Courage / virtue restored the lost weighing rights to the Senate and People of Alkmaar". I am not however, sure when/why they were lost in the first place though. |
 |
I took a nice boat tour around the town. |
