The ship was still sailing after breakfast so we decided to learn some new cooking skills from our chef. He showed us great tips for making Fried Rice. Did you know it works better to use rice that was cooked before and cooled. After we watched the demo we all got to try some with our lunch. It was so yummy!
Once the ship was parked and we had finished our lunch we headed off the with a nice lady who offered to show us around as open air museum in a town called Arnhem, near where are ship stopped. The museum originally opened in 1918, on a huge bit of park land on the outskirts of the town. It recreates a village of what life would have been like in the early 1800s depicting all the little shops and businesses that you would see in a town.
We heard that during the Battle of Arnhem, in WWII, some of the buildings were destroyed. Those buildings were reconstructed just as they would have been many years ago, and all the other buildings, furnishing, tools and things are authentic from their time period. It was so interesting to watch volunteers dressed in costumes from those times doing day to day things like iron work in a forge (making tools), weaving brooms, making paper from cotton fibre, and even doing laundry by hand in huge barrels (we saw how big of a process it was to do that before machines and supercharged soaps).
