End of Season Dressup Party



The end of the jumping season here on Texel is marked by an enormous dressup party they call "Paranachtfeest". The theme was "Beesteboel" which means Party Animals. I decided to go as a dropbear, but then I saw some angel wings in a shop and HAD to buy them, so I ended up being a flying dropbear with a long tail. Teun went as a penguin and there were many other very creative outfits.

There were 2 crocodile hunters (well, one was a butterfly hunter) and many lions and cows.

I'd say special mention goes to Remcos butcher outfit (it seems to be attracting the bunnies):


There were many sore heads after the party. In fact Teun and I didn't even end up riding home, we stayed in a hotel room at De Kievit (where the party was).

The next day there were a few people still at De Kievit and we ended up having tea and pizza. Mmmm yum, great hangover cure.





Teun and I have moved out of the caravan now and have moved into a room at De Koog (a town 6km south west of the dropzone. We are staying here. It's a lovely room on the top floor. This is a pic of the room. It's very comfortable, in fact it's quite luxurious. Free internet, tv and shared kitchen.
