Making olliebollen with Nico, finally

Europe 2024 (NL / IT / FR)

When we entered Netherlands border security a few days ago, they asked my purpose of visit, to which I (Tom) answered "olliebollen". Now that purpose has been fulfilled! Nico taught Francis how to make it. The literal translation from Dutch to English is “oily balls”. It is like deep fried bread pudding, or hot cross buns, but more delicious.

Francis befriended a neighbourhood cat, which then managed to make its way to the deck on the house boat, much to Nico’s dismay.
