Holidays

Every year again we have problems to decide where to go. To avoid all the discussions we made a choice for camping months ago. This kept us calm until a week ago. Last weekend we started to look for the ideal camping spot. We put all our wishes in a list and started to search the internet. After a whole weekend of discovering almost all camping’s located on the French coast we found one who seems to fit. After waiting for a day the disappointing answer came, no pitch available. Then we started again with fewer criterions, we even looked in Italy and we’ve discussed possible countries for an all-inclusive holiday by plane. Today we received an answer of two camping’s that they have a pitch available. One camping is very expensive and the other one too far away. We have still one request open and we keep our fingers crossed that their answer will be positive. When this will be a negative answer we definitely going to search for a flight to an nice warm and sunny country.

The worlcup footbal Brasil

And how a country gets mad....  

It’s amazing to see how a big part of the Dutch people change into weird strange creatures during a World Cup or a European Cup football. Everything is orange such as houses, cars, pets and even food. To be honest I’m one of those crazy ones. I’m not wearing orange all the time but when “we” have to play I’m in front of the television in my orange shirt and orange with red, white and blue striped nails. Together with my dog Basil who is wearing a nice orange polo shirt for the occasion, decorated with the text “effe scoren”. 


The match of yesterday was a real thriller to watch, it really looked like we were going to lose that one. Fortunately they managed to change to possible outcome and now we are already sure of playing the next round. This will be a knockout game so then it’s really important to play amazing direct from the start. Before this we have to play one more match in our pool against Chili. I’m looking forward to this game because this will definitely be a real exciting game. Chili is really playing very attractive football, so this has to be fun to watch. Luckely for us it doesn't matter much if we lose. About the strange dressed people I want to make one thing clear, we Dutch are not the only ones who are dressed like idiots. I've seen a lot of different ways of wearing the nations colours the last days.
