Travel tip: Oeteldonk is the place to be

I confess: I celebrate carnival. My friend and I have been counting down to Saturday like little kids since Saturday, because that's when the festivities start in Bergen op Zoom. The dancing, my friends, the singing, the snacks; it is my absolute guilty pleasure. It makes me the happy version of myself, which is why I’m sharing the tip of the day with you. A travel tip that Kiek didn't know, but which I got from the real Brabanders at our editorial office.

An all-inclusive carnival holiday to Oeteldonk, the first of its kind in our country. I think it's brilliant. You might know Oeteldonk as Den Bosch. Prijsvrij.nl has a deal for you from Sunday to Tuesday, for the symbolic price of 111.11 euros. How wonderful is this? The creators stay close to home, as the ladies and gentlemen of the travel organization sit down at the desk there every day.

What do you get? Overnight stays of course, but also unlimited sausage rolls, a pub crawl of eleven pubs led by a local, two hangover breakfasts, and recovery in a wellness center. By the way, the trip can now only be booked on request. The Netherlands is just as enthusiastic as I am.

Oh yes, Bavaria has also started a useful petition. ‘Free with Carnival’. I am in favor, but May already knew that.
