"Every November children in the Netherlands eagerly await the arrival of Sinterklaas. Sinterklaas (Saint Nicholas) is the patron saint of children and, for as long as the Dutch can remember, he travels from Spain to the Netherlands to celebrate his name day here on 5 December.
Because he brings presents to all children, he is often compared to Father Christmas and Santa Claus. Unlike Father Christmas, however, he does not travel on a sleigh pulled by reindeer – oh no! Saint Nicholas’ preferred means of transport are a large steamboat (to make the journey from Spain to the Netherlands) and his horse called Americo (to visit all the cities, towns and villages in the Netherlands)".
Sinterklaas na telebeamie. Zdjęcie to zrobili Stash i Jacek, którzy w porcie rano byli i statek z Sinterklassem widzieli, jak wpływał do portu.
A to dziecko przebrane za pomocnika Santaklaasa - Zwarte Piet'a (Black Pete).
Po południu udaliśmy się już wszyscy, łącznie z babcią, na spacer po Delft.
