Last night’s New Year’s Eve was probably the best one yet, a great sign for a promising year ahead. We piled us all in and drove an hour south to Scheveningen where they built a massive castle of a bonfire for a yearly competition they have with their neighbouring village Duindorp, who broke the World Record for biggest bonfire with 30,000 pallets, 4,000 cubic metres. WOW!
Inspired by some alcohol, I thought it was a brilliant idea to join the few half naked Polar Bear Plungers in the ocean last night at 2am. After begging my comrades to join me, I was caught in a promise when one of Kees’ friends started stripping down! Following suite, I got out of my 5 layers of clothes in 0C and chased after my fellow Plunger’s naked butt down the sandy shores. Screaming and laughing, I fell face first with my mouth wide open into the North Sea and enjoyed my first tasty, salty meal in the New Year.
The spontaneousness of this act left me half naked and wet on a breezy winter beach with only a shirt to dry myself. Thank gosh for a World Record bonfire.
This was my first Plunge ever and a special time I won’t forget. What a great way to enter 2015!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
