The last day of my visit in Holland we went to the Open Air Museum in Arnhem. The grounds are a replica of a typical Dutch village from the 1800’s. It was really cool the way it was set up like and old town with traditional houses, barns, bakery, bar, church etc. In fact this is where Dirk & Jiska got married. Lots of areas for the kids to play and for me as well!
Dirk dared me to go into this sheep barn below and “herd” all the sheep out. I of course called him on the dare and went to chase the sheep. Below is a video clip, hope it works on your computers or it could take a while to load. When I went in all the sheep were eating from their troughs. The way I got them to move out was just by clapping….I learned from this that I may have a future in sheep herding when I get to New Zealand. The sheep co-operated except for this lone black sheep that was staring me down and breathing heavily through its nostrils. I avoided eye contact and moved gracefully to the door opening. When I got out I was startled by another sheep “ba-ba-ba-ba’ing” at me.
Ya had to be there, it was a good laugh.
