Vier Daagse

In Holland at this time of year there is a four day walk, for all people who are interested in taking up this challenge. And lots do so.
In Houten, the schools organise walks for the children, starting at 6 p.m. each day, for four days. The children in each school put on their school T Shirts, and off they go, together with their parents. The children in Groups 1 to 4 walk for 5 km, and the children in Groups 5 to 8, walk for 10 km, each day. Today we walked around Houten, and tomorrow we will walk out in the countryside.
At the end of the four days, the children and parents will meet in the town centre, where the mayor will give a speech and present the children with small medals.
Off we go!
A welcome rest, with a drink and some crisps. Mia (on the right hand side) with her friends.
So ever onwards tomorrow!
