Last night we saw the New Year in twice, once as we were watching BBC tv and then again an hour later in line with the Dutch!
The Dutch certainly know how to put on a show, massive amounts of fireworks were lit, nearly every house had them, the noise and colours in the sky was just unreal!
The streets were littered with the firework debris!
The next day just myself and Kiera went for a walk around the village, 5 mins for the centre there is a small wild life enclosure with lots of animals in it. It only takes 15 minutes to walk around it. I wonder what they all thought of the fireworks!
Bergen really is a lovely village to live in.
Walking around the village you do see some interesting houses - I liked the look of this one!
Not sure how as once we were in the restaurant sat high up on the dyke, we could watch the rain clouds blow in from the North. There were a couple of really heavy down pours - No one was looking forward to the ride home as a soaking looked inevitable!
A great lunch, and then we made our way home, helped by a fierce tail wind. It did rain, but thankfully not enough to soak us.
Well, that's about it for our Dutch trip.
The next day we loaded up, said our good byes and headed home.
No problems on the roads, but we had to que for at least 40 mins to get onto the train.
Back in good old Blighty we stopped at a service station, had a quick bite to eat, came out to the car and found that someone had emptied all their rubbish straight onto the floor - it really pissed me off as there was a bin less that 20 feet away!
What possible reason could they have for thinking that this is acceptable?
The difference between Holland and England is huge, this would just not happen over there.
Welcome home!
Ride safe.
