After another quick stop off in Noordwijk we stumbled upon a small shopping center that had a room full of rides and games for children. It would be rude to walk by and not take a look inside… so Mummy took her two children inside 😀

It was extremely hard to video you on the Merry Go Round, I had to keep walking backwards which in turn made me extremely dizzy! Mummy also got dizzy trying to keep up with the horses. In the end I jumped on the ride as well, this must of made an interesting video on the surveillance camera 😀

Bonus video:

As the sun became a little too strong for even Mummy we decided to put on our walking shoes and explore the town center, first mission… find coffee 🙂

In a previous post we met ‘Bert & Ernie’ in Hoofddorp, remember? Well it seems they also decided to come to the beach to hangout, great minds think alike! I’m not sure what’s going through your head in the last picture… ‘help?’ 😀

After the slight detour we managed to find a nice cafe for a bite to eat and coffee. They insisted we could only use the child seat inside, which was slightly strange, did they think we would steal it? However things became a little clearer once we sat down inside and they brought it out. It’s a nice idea, especially for travelling, it might make it on the list of things to buy 🙂

Upon heading back to the car we were blocked by a ‘lorry parade’, that’s the best way to explain it 🙂 The noise was deafening and as we got closer we could see you were getting anxious, nearly crying! However you braved it up with some hugs from Mummy and we watched as over 100 trucks drove past… luckily we got there at around number 80, so we didn’t have to wait long 😀

As it was another hot weekend here in The Netherlands we thought we’d go hang out in ‘Noordwijk aan Zee’ for the day. For the morning we decided to spend it on the beach, leaving at midday before it got too hot. You know what’s funny though? We spent more time today at the beach than we did in Spain at the beach 😀

The morning went perfectly! We arrived early and found a parking space straight away, beating the hordes before they arrived. We even found a nice secluded spot to setup camp. You enjoyed playing in the sand before having brunch and finally your mid-morning nap.

Mummy and I enjoyed some relaxing time in the sun while you were asleep before heading to explore the town center in the afternoon.
