    Sinterklaas arrives in our country on a steamboat coming from Spain. He is assisted by helpers that distribute little sweets to the children. This is a day for children and it is our tradition, not the Coca Cola Santa Claus guy, although he is also not unknown here.

    And then here is a foto of the boat sailing into our inner harbour. The kids were absolutely going wild on the quay.

    What's with the brown faces? Oh! I see, they are coming from Spain!

    Very cute spectacle for the kids.
