DAY 333

Friday 8 June 2012

Entrance to Efteling

Roos made sack lunches, and we were off the The Efteling amusement park. It is a park that is slightly older than Disneyland, but shares many similarities, though its attractions are more based on fairytales. Nicole opted to ditch her camera for the day, so nearly every picture was taken by Charles! As a bonus, his journalist pass got him in for free!

"Papier here!" The trash can at the park. If you throw something in he burps or says thank you.

Our first stop was the haunted house, then twelve more scary and fun attractions.

Typical Dutch "food vending machine" design, you can see what food is in the tray behind glass, you pay your money, the take it out hot.

We're back in Morocco!

"Typical, typical, typical Dutch right here." - Roos

In the middle we had hot chocolate and poffertjes (typical Dutch mini pancake-like treat with powdered sugar and butter), not to mention a bounty of candy from the park's candy store.

From an old fairytale, this donkey poops out a gold coin if you give it a small donation.

The old forest sage. A bit of a rambler, this was Roos and her mother and sister's favorite part of the park, the old man was so funny

By 6PM the new water show had started, which was glorious. After seeing trolls and fairies, we drove the hour back to Neerkant where we all watched a movie, then afterwards conked out.
