Weekend with Ange - Saturday

On Saturday Shando and I packed up the tiny car and drove down to Zeeland - yes the right one this time. It was (officially, actually) the place that our country was named after. Hooray!

On the way there, the weather was so lovely and we came across this cool area so we stopped and went for a bit of a walk around. It would have been awesome in summer.

We walked along this little path out to the pole in the middle. It was really windy!

Then we went to this really lame water park (sorry Shando!) in Neeltje Jans where we learned about the deltawerken and the way the Dutch keep the sea off their country.

We walked along the sea wall (and saw the gates).

Afterwards, we went back to Kinderdijk (where i took Dad) to see it at sunset. I felt a bit sorry for this poor guy who was near us... we were waiting for the sun to set and he was too. He looked semi-professional - he had a tripod and everything. We were being loud and obnoxious and quite clearly standing in the right spot, because he edged closer and closer to us. When it got to the point where Ange was trying to take photos using my head as the tripod, I think he must have been struggling not to laugh out loud.
