We spent an afternoon driving around the countryside during a beautiful and sunny Pinksterdag. These photos will give you an idea of what the Dutch do on a typical long weekend. We avoided the beach totally as we are not so fond of heavy traffic jams and crowds so these photos show kind of “everything” except the beaches.
Biking is one of the most common weekend leisure activity aside from taking long walks in the countryside. People also bask in the sun next to or in the water. Since most of the Netherlands is next to water the activities center around canoeing, fishing, boating, swimming and all sorts of water sports. They are quite blessed to have water all around indeed and they obviously appreciate and are proud of this fact.
The next thing I love about springtime are the flowerbeds. It’s too bad that we did this too late as the flowers have either dried up or have been harvested. Well, at least I am glad I was able to take a few shots of the red and white flowers.
P.S. As promised, the cow photos are now included here
