To put this GTG in a nutshell.
It was AWESOME!
The people who organised this are just great!

We've toured the whole island, we've visited a cool little museum filled with stuff found on the beach (we call that activity 'jutten', therefore Juttersmuseum).
While touring we were stopped by the police.. they let us go thank goodness, pics will be posted as soon as possible

The local newspaper met us at the lighthouse. I'm curious what the reporter will write...

To start off, here are a few pics taken by some members of the Dutch NB club:









One of my favourites. A pic taken by Jeroen of Bud driving to the lighthouse (so it seems... )




The sun is setting


And this is what you do when you park in a row (see previous pic), then you all get out and take the same pics Do you notice me behind Bjorn?




More to come, promised!

Default Pics taken by me this time

On the ferry, Gilbert asked the guys if we could all park seperately on the side of it. And we could! As far as you can see 'round for a reason'!






Welcoming cake and champaign


Giftbasket made by the 2 women who had organised this weekend with their husbands


Game for Friday night. Gran Turismo 4 (Playstation), the winners received a prize.










No sheeps on the dike at this part. Soon after this picture was taken, we were stopped by the police As soon as that pic is posted on the Dutch NB site, I will post it here...


This is what you call 'jutten'

Police vs New Beetle Club Holland


We were driving below the dike on a piece of road where you're not supposed to drive If they wanted to give us a ticket, it would have costed EUR75 for each car. About 20 cars were present....

What a fantastic looking weekend! I love the pics of all the Bugs on the ferry. I guess they will float, in a way!

The shots with the cops sure do add to the charm of the GTG. I like that he blocked your path by coming the other way. Someone should have cited him for going the wrong way.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Yes! please move here and bring a sweater as well
The reason I guess why there are usual so many people at our GTG's is because there are a couple of people who are ALWAYS present and we live kind of close together. Small country you see
It's like a hardcore bunch that is always at a GTG hahaha

I really need to move to The Netherlands. You guys have such great GTGs!

Thanks Debby! we sure had a blast.

When we were stopped by the police, I stayed in my car.
The cops did mention that we were driving on a road we were not supposed to.
I don't know who flashed their pearly whites, but it worked and they let us go. They backed up, and when we passed, car by car, we waved and honked and smiled
Next year we will bring the police NB with us (we hope...)
