Ending of Summer - Home Sweet Home

Last Sunday was the hottest day recorded for the year in Holland. At 32 DegC it was unusual as this Summer has been relatively mild with temperatures well below 22 DegC.

That Sunday the Dutch (and lots of Germans as well) thronged Schevenigen, a long stretch of beach in the Hague, in huge numbers, estimated to be around 290,000 people, creating massive traffic jams around the Hague. This picture was taken back in April when it was less crowded - imagine nearly the whole population of Brunei now sitting in there.

It has been exactly a year since we arrived here. This tuesday we will fly home for a 3-week stay.
