Ice skating

Today it is cold!! -10 degrees celcius and people really look like they are getting ready to build an iglo.

Although it is cold, Dutch people also love this freezing weather. Why? Because they can get their ice skates out and go ice skating. When I was young I did it all the time.

I would put on some winterproof clothing, hat, scarve, moonboots. Make some hot coco and pack my skates and ride my bike to the ice. There I put on my skates.

Although I already knew I was going to fall flat on my face within the first three strokes, I always looked forward to begin skating.  And indeed I fell, got up and from there it would go better by each stroke. After a couple of rounds, there was my beloved warm coco and after drinking it, the process would start all over again. On ice, fall and skate..

In Holland most people love skating and if the weather allows it we would organise a "elfstedentocht" (eleven cities tour). A tour which goed on ice through 11 cities (read: villages). An event which is in the heart of many dutch men and women. I wonder would it be possible to organise one this year?? Let's wait and see!

So I am going to go put on the heat some more and make me some hot coco!

Earn to click and traffic development / holiday

I got the question from a few guys which site I started the upgrade on to develop my traffic and clicks. Must mention, you get free referrals by being an upgraded member and when you get in by a referrer, their referrers "leak" through to you. Which means that when they have the maximum referrers you will get them! I already told you about this site in an earlier post.

So here it is, here is where I became unsceptic:

Just see for yourself, no pressure!

Just looking for a holiday still. It shocked me how little hotels there are left in Turkey.. What happened? Or have they just not had time to get their holiday offers in yet?? Just keep looking...

coldness

After weeks of a warm winter, now the real cold is coming. Tomorrow night it will be minus 10 degrees celcius. It is strange, a few weeks ago when it still was 10 degrees above zero, people were dressed in their wintercoats, wearing hats and scarves. I just wonder what they are wearing today? Their skiing outfits? A fleece suit with two extra coats? Lol, just wondering. Tomorrow I will be looking to see for myself!

I am longing to go out again, it has been a while. In a few weeks it is carnaval. Not at all like the tropical version. In the south they will be all dressed up, drinking and making these big cars decorates with figurines and buildings all connected by one theme. Usually there are some cars critisizing politics or events in the news. I am sure to keep you informed.. here is an impression of what I mean.


I am really looking forward to this!
