Schaatsen op de Plaatse

Under the name 'Schaatsen op de Plaatse' of 'Echt Veldhovenz On Ice', the city of Veldhoven, together with some local business owners, put up an ice skating rink on a square (De Plaatse) one block from our house. So, Pieter took them skating this morning. A fun way to start a busy Sunday!

Janne started off a bit wobbly, but learned very quickly

Confident enough to act funny :-) She skated more than 100 laps, which is about 5K!

Another local business offered people the opportunity to take a ride up in the air dangling from a 60 m tall crane! In a 'basket' and wearing a safety harness, that is ... It was rather cold up that high, but we had a spectacular view of Veldhoven.

Our house is in this picture; can you find it?
