water


Drinking is the need of life number 1 and if you do not want to be too fat, we do not drink sugary soft drinks but just tap water or mineral water from the bottle (in some municipalities the tap water is not drinkable).

summer

The last few days the summer is hot in the Netherlands, temperatures of 30ºC are the rule rather than the exception.
