New Year's Dive

 

 

Today we drove to Moraira, where members of our Dutch-Belgian Club participated in the traditional New Year's Dive. This seems to be a typical Dutch habit! In Scheveningen (Holland) over 10.000 of people ran into the cold North Sea today at noon. On Sint Maarten we witnessed this exactly a year ago, lots of people there also, although it is not quite so hard and difficult in the balmy Caribbean Sea.

 

But we were here this year, today,in Moraira, Spain...

The weather was cold, but the atmosphere was very happy and laid back. Everywhere you could see little groups of people gathered with champagne, whine, ham and all kind of delicious food, these people, whether they are from abroad or from Spain, they know how to celibrate!!!

 

There was Cava and soup afterwards in our club, and then as a kind of present, the sun came through and we have been sitting on the large terrace. It was wonderful, we feel so welcome here, it was a great start of what hopefully will be a very good New Year!

 

Bye, thanks for reading,
