Derk 265 Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Hm... just home- sort of tipsy, my wife definitely beyond that- from the local party in the village park and in the pub afterwards.. The whole country kind of blew up celebrating the crowning of the (already) very popular new King & Queen with literally millions and millions of people out in the streets. Great celebrations in very nice weather all over the country with the King & the Queen and the Princesses taking some wonderfull spontaneous actions in Amsterdam. Proud of my country...... . Please don't phone us tomorrow , we'll be back later. I'll be editing this with some Youtube stuff later on.... Edited May 1, 2013 by Derk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
