My wife wanted to visit some family and old friends who live in Den Helder in the far
North-West of the Netherlands so this weekend, we booked a hotelroom and on
Saturdaymorning we left home to ride to the North of Holland.
After a coffee at the McDonalds we went to Fort Kijkduin to see the museum in the fort,
the fort itself and the aquarium. Then we went to a niece of my wife to meet her and her
husband and children. After a very pleasant afternoon with them , we went to our hotelroom
in a castle in Schagen, a small town near Den Helder. We had a wonderful dinner in the
restaurant of the hotel.

On Sunday we went to church and the after church, we went to their house with old
friends who live in Julianadorp, near Den Helder. After a nice lunch and coffee (and a
lot of talking  ), we went to the Sea Rescue
museum in Den Helder. They have old lifeboats, trucks, rescue materials and photos and
videos on display. Very interesting.
From the museum we went home again through the snow and a white scenery, past Schiphol, and
at seven in the evening we arrived safe at home again.

The daughter of my oldest son had her birthday so we went to the farmhouse where
they live, an hour and a half driving from where we live, to celebrate her birthday, give
her a present and eat tasty birthdaycake.

Tuesday was the last day of the carnaval and the end of the carnaval is always spectaculair in
Ossendrecht (called Ostrecht during the carnaval days).
At midnight, on the market square in the center of the village, the Mayor or the Deputy Mayor gets
the "keys of the town" back from the Carnaval Prince and then the Prince and the Jester ride away
on a "burning" ox while the people sing a song about the burning ox that died.
It was a clear and dry night so I made some nice pictures for an article on
RegioActueel.nl.

This afternoon I went to Huijbergen, with one of my sons, to make a article about
the carnaval Parade for RegioActueel.nl
The weather was perfect so we had a very nice afternoon and I made some nice pictures for
my article on RegioActueel.nl.

RegioActueel

After we stopped with the old RegioActueel, we started a co-operation
with the local TV station, ZuidWestTV but after about half a year
we decided that this was not what we wanted so now we started
RegioActueel Lite
RegioActueel is back
For now, we started with a blogspot but we are working on a new an
fresh website so keep looking at

To test the new ARO panniers and topcase I made a small trip today to Goes, about
fourty kilometer from home. The weather was very strange, sometimes the sun was
shining, a minute later it was snowing or raining and then after a minute the sun was
shining again.
My beautiful BMW
Dispite the strange weather, I had a nice ride.

Yesterday my ARO topcase arrived at Motorservice Ossendrecht and I went there
this afternoon. It took John some work to fit it on the bike. The wires for the right hand
turnindicator were just a few milimeter to short so John had to extend the wires.
Now everything is done and it looks good and solid.
