We didn't have much for breakfast in the house so we went in to town for breakfast. We went to Scoozi's to be exact. And what a great breakfast we had. Not too much, but sooooo damn tasty. Great start of the last day of this year.
This was our view: Rundle Street.
We looked for shoes but couldn't quite find what we wanted.
Well known Belgian beer available here.
And then we went to the beach.
Nicole doing the 'vogeltjes dans'.
The water was refreshing but not cold enough. A few kilometres away a 4 metre great white was swimming we later read on the news.
Gull walking to the left...
Gull walking to the right. The beach can be thrilling.
The little steam train was riding as well.
Around 21:00 we drove down to the big park in town for some New Years eve festivities. There was a stage with bands playing on it, there were some food stalls and plenty of toilets.
Because we had skipped dinner we first went to the guzleme stand. Guzleme is a delicious Turkish dish. It's kinda like pizza dough, folded, with spinach, feta cheese and lambs meat inside. Hmmmm.
Like I said before, bands were playing on stage.
The fountain was changing colour all the time.
And at midnight sharp the fire works started. Pretty nice fireworks too, for 15 minutes.
Mic called me to say happy new year but we couldn't really hear each other very well. We'll catch up tomorrow.
The fireworks were lit from a bridge. At some point it looked like the whole bridge was on fire.
Boom.

Hi Guys,
a happy new year to you to, although we have to wait a few hours before it starts here.
I am envious though: while you can walk on the beach, we can (nearly) walk onm the water, it's freezing here.
They stopped flushing the Keizersgracht so if the temperatures stay low you can skate on it.
Happy new year! I'm glad you decided those shoes are not for you...
Happy new year guys! I'm off to Mullies now to celebrate. Keep up the cycling!
@ The G: That would be quite a feature, a frozen Keizersgracht! I think that hasn't happened in decades.
@ Kees: We actually were thinking that now that you have lost so much weight we should maybe send you a pair of heels? ;-P
@ Danny: Thanks! I'm jealous, I want to go to Mulligans too. If I could beam over once a year I'd do it on NY's eve. Even though we had a nice evening it's a bit boring compared to an evening in Mulligans/Amsterdam. I hope you had fun (without a hangover)
Gelukkig nieuw jaar Vince!!!
(dit keer maar 's in het NL's)
Groeten,
Jolanda
@ Jo: Thanks!
Ja, nogmaals gelukig nieuwjaar! En een gave crosstrainer! Ik vid zo'n ding super, wij hebben er ook een, alleen dan wat ouderwetser. Die van jullie ziet er goed uit!
