today we sleep on a desert island

Lying on your lazy haidewiets, drinking milk from a coconut with your butt naked. On a deserted eeeeiland, no one walks in front of your nose. You need to know two things. 1) I am humming the rest of the day 'Children for Children' and you probably are too. 2) You can book an overnight stay on the uninhabited island of Pampus.

Do you know where the expression ‘lying for Pampus’ comes from? Pampus used to be a sandbank that blocked access to the IJ towards Amsterdam. It could happen that ships had to wait for a while before they could pass. I still enjoy sailing past Pampus, because it is now a real island. An uninhabited island. Where you can stay this summer. You can either set up your own tent and herring or choose the ready-made luxury option. Guess three times what I want. How fun is this, sleeping on an uninhabited island in the Netherlands. See you there?

And come on, one more time because the nostalgia is too great not to listen to it completely.
