Prinsjesdag in The Netherlands.

After I saw the queen of the Netherlands this week 2 times bringing her kids to school, yes, it is only Tuesday so guess..., we all in the Netherlands did celebrate Prinsjesdag today.
If you want to know, about what Prinsjesdag is, check Wikipedia out, I am bad in explaining But in Den Haag Minister and the king and the queen drove in carriages from the Palace at Noordeind through the city to the Parlament where the king is holding a speech.

But this is grand:

A day in Utrecht, dagje in Utrecht.

On Friday, I have been to Utrecht, which is about 45 minutes from The Hague, so perfect for a city daytrip!

Here are some impressions of the beautiful oldtown of Utrecht. If you are in The Netherlands, make sure that you once have visited Utrecht! Such a lovely and beautiful city with a lot to see...

+++ And then, all of a sudden, you met the king of the Netherlands +++

8th of September, Monday morning. Claire, a spain Au-Pair and me were bringing the kiddies to school. The parents wait outside until the doors open at 08:30 am and until the child is in. And then, the king of the Netherlands, Willem-Alexander, was standing infront of us. He brought his 3 kiddies to school. Oh my fucking gosh! Yes, I find it amazing and unbelievable!!! Not even a month here and I saw the king of the Netherlands. Like, which dutch human can say he met the prins (the king) ?! Well, probably the parents of the kids which go to the same school than my kiddies do but woooow! I feel honoured!

I didn't know that this was the king as I am not into that stuff and yeah. Until Claire told me and I was like "WTF? Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" ... The thing is, last monday, after the holydays ended, my hostdad and me brought the kiddies to school together and the king was also there but my hostdad didn't want to tell me because there were soooo many people so I actually met him twice. Yeah!
