Unfortunately, the summer of 2000 brought The Netherlands only two tolerably warm days. The first warm day, Viem wasn't around: Vicky was in Spain and Emmie was in France.
The second pleasant day Viem took the opportunity to spend the day in the dunes. So, we packed our bag to take our little trip on our bicycles and we were on our way.
Last year we discovered this perfect little peaceful place in the dunes, where one can enjoy the sound of the water and the birds. We used to spend many days there, while it was really hot. But hey, that was '99...
So this year we decided to capture our special little place on picture. Just when we were taking our pictures, we were disturbed by some lunatic with curly hair and a striped sweater. He was biking through the dunes and stopped when he saw us. He asked us: "Is everything okay, ladies?" We answered "yes" and then decided not to spend any further attention on him.
He just stood there, staring, a weird look in his eyes...
We turned our back on him (literally), because we wanted him to go away. Eventually he went. Our peaceful moments were brutally disturbed by this maniac we call "de krullenman", which best translated as "the curl man".
After he had left, things were never the same. We were constantly afraid he would come back, so we weren't able to relax anymore, while relaxing was the thing we came there for.
We had created a perfect escape plan, in case he would suddenly show up again.
After twenty minutes or so, when we were just eating the chocolate cake we had brought along, and were writing in eachother's schooldiaries, he biked past us again. We put our escape plan to action: we threw our things in our backpack and raced off.
Well, that was our millenium dune adventure...
What is awaiting us in the future?
