Carnaval in Delft, it was a surpirse

We were considering going to a Carnaval city but decided not to do this. Our first choice would have been the Carnaval in Köln. Today it was dry weather and we felt like a walk with our dogs. Delft is a historical city so we went there. On our way to the main square, we saw many police men, crowds and people dressed up in very strange characters. We immediately knew there was going to pass by a Carnaval parade. It was a nice surprise and below you find some pictures. The ambiance was excellent in Delft.

We hadden in de loop van de week overwogen een Carnavalsstad te bezoeken maar besloten daar niet meer door te gaan. Onze eerste keuze zou op het Carnaval in Keulen gevallen zijn. Vandaag was het droog, redelijk weer, en we besloten met onze honden te gaan wandelen. Delf is een historische stad dicht bij onze woonplaats dus reden we er naar toe. Op onze weg naar de markt, zagen we veel politie, groepjes mensen en lui in allerlei rare kostuums. We realiseerden onmiddellijk dat er een Carnavalsstoet langs ging komen. Het was een leuke verrassing en hieronder vind je wat foto's. De sfeer zat wel uitstekend in Delft..

  1. What a colorful parade! That little boy in the last photo isn't a bit afraid. Was Tessa scared? You're introducing her to many new things which is good.
