Having fun at Beer Garden on Second Pentecost Day.

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

It was a day off for most people today in the Netherlands because of second Pentecost day.

And it's not the only second day we have after a Cristian holiday (day off).

We also have second Christmas day and second Easter day for instance.

Upon writing this I was wondering if the Netherlands was unique in this and it appears we are not.

Many countries seem to add an extra day here and there.

And I'm all for it.

Especially when the sun is shining and I'm invited to drink some beers with my friends.

And that's what Bianca and I did today.

We went to a place called the beer garden.

It's basically a square with tables and chairs and benches where they serve nice pints and food from stalls around the place.

Bianca had some nachos with jalapeños.

But me and Fabio settled for something a little more firm. The guy is still trying to grow his beard and it looks a little better every time! Although I'm wondering if he can keep it when his girlfriend gets back in 2 weeks :)

The sun was shining bright the whole day and beers were a welcoming treat. We spend the whole afternoon/evening there just laughing and having fun. Exactly like life should be from time to time.

Greetings, exyle

I was thinking here. How thin are you with all these foods posted einh ??? I wanted to be like that, too, hehehe.

Very well made a meeting with friends, have a beer and eat something.

These handmade burgers look delicious !!!!

Thanks for posting and good evening !!!

Not that thin to be honest. I do train 5 days a week but the days where everything I ate would just burn straight away when I was younger are over. In general I eat pretty healthy in the week to offset these days.

ummmmm, nice information man, thank you!!!

You guys put food in place in #steem.
I will go for nachos everyday.
You guys go for BURGER.
Enjoy the good weather with beer.
Keep on steemin'

Beer :-)

I wish we had more Christmas days Hollidays. In NY it’s a nice sunny day as well. And you just reminded me there is a cold beer 🍺 in my fridge waiting for me. I just have to put together my backyard furniture and then relax.

It's finally nice in NY, I never thought Spring was going to start. It felt like winter was going to last forever. I love a beer on a nice sunny day, its depressing to drink when the weather is shit.

its depressing to drink when the weather is shit.

Agree! It’s much more relaxing with the weather just like today. Isn’t it going to rain again tomorrow? lol

It already rained every freaking day this week! But yea, I'm pretty sure its supposed to rain again tomorrow lol.

I live in Queens.
What part of NY do you live?

Queens too.

Mark @exyle What a Wonderful Day you and Bianca @bkdbkd had with your Friends. Beers, Burgers and Nachos what's not to Like ?? I would have enjoyed asking Bianca for a couple of Chips and Those Tasty Jalapenos. I would have even bought another round of Beers !

If you ever find yourself in the Netherlands let me know :)

what an outing! nice location, good buddies, delicious food! a complete package to have ecstasy of joy!

Just the name of the restaraunt alone would attract me to go there. That burger looks delicious!

A beautiful second day of Pentecost and great photos, my friend, when you are in the company of Bianca and friends, you can just have fun with a beer mug. It's always great, on such a sunny day, to get out of the house and spend time in a great place for socializing with friends, well done! Thanks Mark

It looks like you had great fun.

I mean, you can't have a bad time with burger and a beer.

By the way, I really liked the Netherlands last time when I was there.

I visited Brunssum festival.

I really liked architecture there (those bricked houses).

It's so much different from what I can see in Croatia.

Sounds like a really fun way to spend the day @exyle.

We have extra holidays too. We have three days off for Easter, the Friday, Sunday and Monday making a really nice long weekend. And we have boxing day off too which is the day after Christmas day. 😊

I love nachos really, they're tasty too bad you guys went for something else, Bianca obviously had something better lol.
Well the beer looks good, what brand is that?
Wow it's amazing fun really, the food and the outdoor, take me along next time😀

It's a dutch beer called Gulpener. This was their white beer. Pretty fresh!

Yeah pretty fresh and sizzling I swear, 😀

i think the best time of our life is that time that we had with our friends and family ...hope you would enjoy it ...God Bless you all

Seems guys Y'll really enjoying & having fun with beer and tasty foods in the beer garden of second Pentecost day.
So curious experience Y'll got. Sun was shine better gives you warm feelings. nachos with jalapeños I never eat and various experience to me via image graphy.
I think you didn't talked about steem issues :D
Thanks you guys gave inspiration moment to us @exyle.

Thanks Mark for sharing. Looks like a great time.

Last month my wife and I went to a beergartden in NEw Braunfels, TX about 30 miles from where we are in San Anotino.

It was so much fun and something I never experienced with a german band and everything :)

Haha! Nice! Who drove back ;)

Happy days! Enjoy your youth and your friends.

Hehe great beer picture @exyle cheers, when you say like a 2nd Christmas do you mean literally like Christmas day again or say its something like say boxing day? Haha I also didn't know burgers help grow my beard.

It's how we say in the Dutch. Yeah, it's what you guys call boxing day.

Great pictures- there's nothing good like unwinding and relaxing with friends. Besides, the good weather is a perfect excuse to be outside. You all looked happy-I like how you guys enjoy life :)

What's not to love: :) friends, food and a beer!

Drinking beer along with your friends on a sunny day is not a good idea. You should drink beer on Easter days and holidays .haha. Wish you a good day

It was an excellent day with friends! Enjoying the free time, leaving the routine, sharing I have exchanged ideas for the days to come, you look great just like those pictures

Great to see all those smiles!! Good food, drinks, sunshine and good times creating good memories!! Nice! Just as it should be, no doubt about it!

It is always good to have an extra day when you can meet up with friends, have a few beers and some good food. The burgers look really good.

I thought for a second you will get all religious on us :)))

this is beautiful! @exyle l! Beer with friends, but what good looks is that sandwich! Ok, I think I'll go to the beer garden tonight and catch the plane to get there on time. But maybe I'm here to drink some wine! it's the same? Meanwhile, my vote for you as a witness. Take care and be careful with your diet;)))

Spending a time with friends and family always give you pleasant feeling. Hopefully you had a lot of fun. Have a nice time @exyle

happy to have fun with your friends.we call your country by the name of windmill country..good days with friends

I’m in constant education mode. In constant readjustment mode. And in constant “un-learning the bullshit” mode. It hurts. And it’s exhausting. Some days, I wanna crawl into bed and never get up. Other days, I’m strong and feel as though I can lift mountains because of you

Enjoy a holiday with your friends, may be a fun holiday.

Tasty looking burgers! 🍔🍔
Is this in Rotterdam?

Yes! Near Central Station.
