Konningneneneeinach and konningendag

Hello all!

Well, what a fine week it has been where we have celebrated the birthday of our beloved Dutch Queen. Her birthday is actually in January, but who wants to have a street party in January? Not me amigo. So this day, is actually the birthday of the previous queen.

Anyway, Queen's day in the Netherlands is bigger than new years. There are massive street parties the evening before (The Hague, a city of 400 000, had about 5 free concert areas set up around the city and the carnival), and then on the actual birthday the partying continues with music, theatre and markets... everywhere.

See the pictures below!
