Today, just past 8 am, Faris and I went on an early cycle ride to the beach in Scheveningen. As it was relatively early, the beach was still quiet except for some joggers and people strolling on the beach. People here must have been very downbeaten today after last night exit of Euro 2008.Scheveningen is the premier beach here. This long and sandy beach is normally swollen with people when there is a slightest sign of hot weather. Last May when the temperature did hit 29 Deg. C, police had to literally stop people from going here. Otherwise it's just too crowded and unsafe.
Afterwards, after late breakfast, we all went to town. All , except for our two daughters, were on our bikes again. Fizah and Zimah took the bus instead. On the way back home, it became very windy. Things were flying around and tree branches falling down. Luckily the wind was on our back. Apparently in some places in Holland there were hails with hail stones as big as ping pong balls. In the Dutch News it was reported up to 2000 people made insurance claim for the hail storm damage. What a wierd weather!
