The Fourth or Last Day of AVONDVIERDAAGSE

Finally the last day of AVONDVIERDAAGSE.
After four successive evenings of hiking, on June 24 was the last day of the AVONDVIERDAAGSE. The theme of the day was, wear something orange because that evening our Dutch football team will play against Cameroon and we won with 2-1.

A short break

And the last 2.5 kms.

Our Medals
These are our second medals because last year we also participated in the AVONDVIERDAAGSE.

To culminate the Avondvierdaagse the school hired a band. The band met us halfway going back to school. Snacks and drinks were served.

I do not know if we will do it next year.

About this Blog

I make this blog for foreigners who will live in this country, THE NETHERLANDS. Foreigners who are engaged or married they have to learn a lot of things about their new home like the culture, architectures, landscape, government, dikes etc. Especially the Dutch language which is very important in their social life. It is very difficult if they cannot communicate with other people. Most people speak Dutch, only few speaks English.
For visitors and readers, this will give you an idea what this country is. This small country ranks no. 5 in the economic stability in EUROPE. Their architectures like palaces, castles, dikes, ports (air and sea) are amazing.
Their culture is very interesting.
