Last weekend was Carnival in Oeteldonk (otherwise known as Den Bosch but during Carnival the city changes its name to the fictional city of Oeteldonk). It's the same as Mardi Gras celebrated elsewhere. The whole city and an influx of visitors flocked to our hometown dressed in crazy costumes to celebrate Carnival. Our friends had a party so we could watch the parade of floats go past their apartment. We found some last minute costumes and accessories and joined in the fun. Both kids and adults dressed up for the occasion. It was quite funny to see toddlers and parents in matching costumes cruising around the street. Pictures say a thousand words, so enough blah blah blah.... from me, I think the photos pretty much sum up the experience. It's such a big event in the south of Holland that Paul's company had compulsory leave days on the Monday and Tuesday during Carnival.
