Beautiful skies, festival delights, slamming |
This year, Dutch citizens went even crazier than usual to celebrate their Queen. Beatrix has decided to give the royalty thing a rest and announced her abdication from the throne earlier in the year. Thus, passing it on to her son, Willem-Alexander. As Will is a lad, a King now rules over Holland - for the first time in 122 years. Queen's Day is a huge celebration in The Netherlands, but with it being the very last.. the festivities were even more insane than usual.

Nina, my Dutch gal pal, some of more of her gal pals, Mat and his Brazilian pal, Stefan the German, and I had a cracking time at Oranjebitter festival. Based at Rotts' Parklaan, it was full of 'Damers soaking up the beer and sun, frolicking about to some Rotterdam-based DJs, and sporting their orange attire. We all got absolutely slammed, and it was so much fun. There was a silent disco, a lot of bunting, and lots of green grass and sunshine. Nina wore a strange orange headdress for the entire day, that was probably my favourite part.

Congrats Willem!
