Hugely enjoyable as ever.

Believe me, the Dutch know how to party- and they do it year round! John Calvin would blanche at the beach bars that line the long stretch of sand from Bloemendaal aan Zee to Zandvoort.

I was briefly toying with the idea of returning to that part of the world for the 2024 festive season.

But Mardi Gras will be on February 13th next year 🥶. I'll need to find a place that is tropical, or semi-tropical at a minimum. Eventually, Ash Wednesday will fall in March...I'll reconsider northern Europe then!
