New Years Eve -
the Dutch way

People celebrate the New Year in numerous different ways all around the world. Here in the Netherlands 'New Years Eve' also called 'oudejaarsavond' equals fire works (and lots of it), 'oliebollen' (litterally translated into oil balls -  a sweet treat with raisins and apple and covered in confectioners sugar), apple beignets and champagne among other things.

A New Beginning

New Years Day. For the hardcore sport fanatics there is the possibility to join the other 10.000 Dutchmen who dive into the North Sea to start the year 'afresh' here in Scheveningen, The Hague.
This 'nieuwjaarsduik' tradition started here back in 1965 when the Dutch ex-Canal swimmer, Jan van Scheijnder took the initiative and seven individuals dove into the ice cold North Sea at the start of the new year. Over the years this 'nieuwjaarsduik' grew from a few excentric fanatics into a massive event which is now sponsored by Unox.

Another rather pleasant way to spend the first day of the new year here in The Hague, is to go for beautiful walk in the dunes. The sights are breathtaking and the sunset was beautiful too this year. We even spotted a deer! 
When the time comes for a pause, you can stop at Meijendel and enjoy a cuppa or a hot chocolate around the fire and have a small bite.

We wish you all the best for the 2015 and a Happy New Year!
