Z is always a tricky one in an A to Z. I thought about it, racked my brains and eventually remembered that in 1979 or thereabouts I went to Amsterdam and the weekend included an excursion to Volendam on the Zuiderzee.
Volendam is a popular tourist attraction in the Netherlands, well-known for its fleet of old fishing boats, pretty gabled wooden houses and the traditional clothing still worn by some of the older residents. The women’s costume of Volendam, with its high pointed bonnet, is one of the most recognizable of the Dutch traditional costumes, and is the one most often featured on tourist postcards and calendars.
It is rather like a theme park actually, with little in common with reality,

I was going to use Zadar until I remembered this.

Ten years ago I did an A to Z of Greece, not many people read it so it may be recycled.
