Sinterklaasintocht Assen 2008

http://www.dutchbikebits.com

Sinterklaas arrived today in Assen. This year for the first time in 40 years the canal was open and he could sail in his steamboat all the way from Spain to Assen.

On December 5th it is Sinterklaas' birthday, so children have to behave particularly well until that time.

The songs come from here: http://www.kennisnet.nl/po/leerkracht/vakken/muziek/kinderliedjes/

It is great seeing so many people on bikes.

A truly civilized country.
