Carnaval in 's-Hertogenbosch

Hi everybody !!

this week in Netherlands is the "Carnaval break". You have to understand we are in holidays, and of course it's the carnaval every where (mostly in the south of Netherlands).

We understood there was nothing in our city of Nijmegen (it was wrong) so we decided to go to an other city called 's-Hertogenbosch !!! I know it's a strange name, in french it's "Bois-le-Duc", something like a coarse translation of this weird language dutch.

's-Hertogenbosch is at 40 km on west south of Nijmegen and it's as big as Nijmegen (approximately 140 00 inhabitants).

Photographs and videos will be better than words.



Yes, it's true, it's a tractor which tow the floats !!!!


Everybody can participate to the parade, like the man with his luggage !! We didn't understand, the board "underkoffer" doesn't mean anything !!!





And now, the best things ever !!! You can see on the tent a little board. This board say "send 19 by SMS at 3669 to vote for this one" !! Yes you got it, every people vote for their favorite group !!

But the carnaval isn't just the parade. Every people in the downtown were dressed up (mostly with uglies fancy dress) and, of course, everybody from 7 to 77 years old (and more) drunk a lot a beer (too much ??) !! Do you want to know why ??? It's very easy !!!!



See you everybody !!
