On saturday afternoon the biggest event was that Sinterklaas with his helpers "Zwarte Pieten" arrived in the Netherlands. Mysteriously enough he simultanously arrived in all the towns in th Netherlands. He also arrived in Roosendaal. As the weather was good we went by bike and saw the arrival of Sinterklaas on his white horse 'Amerigo' with music bands and many Zwarte Pieten. The kids got a lot of candies and talked to the Zwarte Pieten.
Now the children have to be extra good until 5th of december when Sinterklaas celebrates his birthday by giving gifts to all the good children in the Netherlands.
During that time occasionally they can put their shoe under the table. Inside they put a poem or a carrot for the hosre. And the next morning Zwarte Piet has put some candy in the shoe.
