STRAMPROY, THE NETHERLANDS.
Sander and I left Antwerp about 10 days ago now, and decided to come back to his home town for a little over a week before heading to the South of France. I had been to Holland before, but just to go to a beautiful fairytale theme park, so other than the other few times I've been to visit his family, this is the longest time I'd ever spent here.
We've been spending our time getting ready for our summer in France, but whenever we've had some free time we've had as much fun as possible. We started it all off by going to The Flying Dutch festival in Eindhoven. It's an electro festival with 10 of the best Dutch DJs, including Afrojack, Fedde le Grand, Showtek, Hardwell and Nicky Romero. The night before we had a big goodbye party, and the festival started at midday the next day, bearing in mind it would take us a good couple of hours to get to Holland, we realised that we might have a problem. In the end we decided to go to the festival later in the day, so we arrived there at about 6pm which suited us fine as that was when the best DJs would be playing. The festival was really good, there were 3 locations; Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Eindhoven, the DJs would be flying from location to location via helicopter. There was 1 main stage and the crowd around it was massive. After finding Sander's friends, we made our way into the centre of the crowd and just enjoyed the music for the next few hours.
The days after that have been spent relaxing, the weather has been pretty amazing, so we've spent a few days just chilling in a hammock in the garden, listening to Sander play his guitar. Sander and his friends decided they wanted to play street hockey like the good old days, so off we went to the village playground and I sat with my feet in the grass watching them play. After that we all came back to Sanders dads place and had a BBQ in the sun.
The day before yesterday, Sanders dad and his girlfriend took us to the south of Limburg, where we spent the day trekking through the wilderness. We saw so many beautiful views and streams, to say I was knackered by the end of the day would be a total understatement.
Yesterday, his mum and her boyfriend took us to Efteling, the fairytale theme park I talked about in the beginning of this blog post. It's absolutely amazing there, a whole part of the park is like a little forest that you walk through, discovering scenes of every fairytale you can think of. The rest of the park is full of rides and rollercoasters, all based on fairytales.
Now our time in Holland is coming to an end, and although it will be a pity to leave, we're super excited for our summer in the South of France!
