5 Days in Holland

Following a nice sleep-in we set off for a walk through the forest near Heeze after lunch with some of the extended family. With the balmy afternoon sun filtering through the trees, we walked past a castle and into town, where we stopped for icecream. On the way back to the forest we came across some beautiful horses with foals.


Back in Someren we had a scrumptious afternoon tea of custard and cherry pies, followed by Dutch take away from the local snack bar. This included such culinary delights as deep-fried cakes filled with fried noodles. Next we made our way to the street carnival, which had been taking place all weekend just out front of some of the houses where our extended family live. After a couple of hours we returned to our cousins' house for some beer and wine until it was time to crawl back into bed.
