the travelseason is officially over and SRC organized a dinner-party in groningen to celebrate that, a good reason to meet up before that. so most of us already met each other in utrecht from where we took the train to groningen, where nick already waited for us :)
nick showed us around in this lovely city doing that in his very own (read: talkative ;)) manner
nice! guess what's in this building...
an albert heijn supermarket! :P
then during our city walk we walked straing into these funny people...
and more of them together with some sheep...
and if that wasn't strange enough, this was what we saw next...
an african elephant in the streets of groningen! :O
and some camels...
and then this man came around the corner...
in other words; sinterklaas arrived!
then everyone stopped right in front of us because a horse gotta do what a horse gotta do, hehe. sinterklaas didn't seem too happy with it though
back on track, waving at the kids :D
we continued our walk and went to a more quiet part of the city centre, where the headquarters of SRC are, nice to finally see the office i always call to !
then further to the most famous sight of groningen; the martini-tower
and then we saw this on top of the city hall buiding
sinterklaas' helpers had climbed on top of it!
city hall with market square in front of it (and loads of screaming kids, totally excited about sinterklaas' arrival!)
yolande, jos & me with martini tower & market square behind us
after this it was already time to go to the restaurant where the dinner-party was. we had some drinks there, talked with other travelguides and our 'bosses' and then had a really nice dinner.
the party was over too soon already, as we had to catch the 21:15 train to be able to make it home that night. groningen for sure is quite far haha!
jos, bart & margarita sharing stories in the train back home
yolande & me
i was back in alkmaar around 00:40, went straight to elise's, where we did some quick getting-ready-to-go-out and then headed for the bar! :D
