A trip to the pancake ship

After waking up at 3pm, still tired from our trip to southern Holland, Andi and I decided to do more tourist stuff and eat "breakfast" at t' Pannekoekschip, otherwise known as the Pancake Ship. This is one of the many houseboats on the canals running through Groningen, but this one was converted into a restaurant that sells Dutch pancakes. I had been wanting to go there ever since I saw it on my first day of arriving in the Netherlands.


Dutch pancakes are very strange, more like giant omelettes than what us Canadians know as pancakes. You can have them sweet or savoury, with beans or salad or molasses on top, and the special ones come with a little Dutch flag in it.


After eating a huge meal, we walked around the centrum to digest and passed this store window. Let this give you the smallest taste of what kind of orange craziness infects the Netherlands during the football season. Can you see the orange chicken you put on your head?
