Yesterday Sinterklaas arrived in The Netherlands after a long trip from Spain in his steamboat, the neighborhood association organized a special day for the kids. First, they could watch as Sinterklaas arrived in Dokkum on the big TV. Afterwards, there were all kinds of activities, from a disco to making your own pepernoten, and Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet hats. Finally, even Sinterklaas arrived, who miraculously crossed the entire country from north to south, after arriving in Dokkum. It was a fun day, which of course cost a lot of energy (luckily I could go home during the disco), but it was worth it.
