Sint & Piet happening




I had already seen these guys on the telly but today I got to see them for real. We went to welcome Sinterklaas and all the Piets arriving by boat over the river Amstel, together with little Jop and auntie Nienke. It was real crowed as we biked along with the boat going over Amstel but then the moms went ahead and found a front row spot where the steamboat (and a thousand other boats) arrived it's destination. I was very impressed with the whole event, boy I've never seen so many kids and parents in my life, so afterwards we all went to the much more quiet zoo where I had my first poffertjes, yummie, and then Jop and I shared a ride. That was enough excitement for today that's for sure ;-)
