It finally came time to leave Augsburg and begin the journey north to the Netherlands. We stopped off at Bernd’s parents place for a night and were treated to good home-made German cuisine and a swim in Lake Mimi! The next day we drove 8hours until we reached the flat lands of clogs and orange! We busted straight in to Amsterdam and were just in time for the Fifa World Cup Football Final of Spain v Holland. Luuka and I geared up with some orange T’s and went to join the masses of crowds that were scattered across the city. It was an awesome atmosphere and we were feeling pretty lucky to be amongst it, could not have picked a much better time to be in Holland. The next day we journeyed on to Zoetermeer, the home of the artificial White Water course- Dutch Water Dreams!
Dutch Water Dreams is an awesome White Water Park and complex! There are about 30 countries here incl. Hungary, Auz, Brazil, Latvia, Spain, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, USA and many more. The atmosphere around the competition is lively and all of the teams are accommodated for and very well looked after. We have been put up in a really nice Hotel 5mins drive from the course and all of our meals and transport is provided. The course is fast flowing with a lot of drops but makes for exciting times! Racing starts on Thursday with the opening ceremony on the Wednesday night.
