Queen's day 2011

A sunny day to celebrate the Queen's birthday. Great for the bike parade, as well as for playing the traditional games.
Decorated bikes 2011; less work as compared to 2010, still a nice looking result :-)

In the parade

Also great weather to drink Oranjebitter. This is the traditional drink on Queen's Day in the Netherlands. It is made by soaking the peel of bitter oranges (Citrus aurantium) in jenever, a strong alcoholic drink sometimes known as gin. The resulting liquid is a bright orange, thick liquor.
