Man, what a day! I swear, I thought I was just gonna dive and chill in Leiderdorp, but nah, life had other plans. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s shining, birds chirping, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be lit!” Little did I know...
First off, I hit up the local café on de Dijk. Best coffee in town, no cap. I grab my usual, a cappuccino with extra foam. I’m all set to dive into the day. But then, I spill half of it on my shirt. Great start, right? I’m standing there like a total klutz, trying to wipe it off with a napkin. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work.
So, I head over to the Rijn, where I usually dive. The water’s looking pretty chill, but the vibe? Not so much. I’m getting ready, and outta nowhere, this dude on a bike zooms past me. He’s yelling something about “watch out!” I look around, and there’s a freaking swan charging at me! Like, what’s up with that? I’m not here for a wildlife showdown, man!
Finally, I get in the water. It’s cold, but refreshing. I dive down, and it’s like a whole new world. Fish everywhere, and I’m just vibing. But then, I see this old tire down there. Like, seriously? Who throws a tire in the Rijn? I’m thinking, “This is why we can’t have nice things!”
After a while, I come up for air, and guess what? My phone’s buzzing like crazy. I pull it out, and it’s my buddy, Jeroen. He’s like, “Dude, you gotta come to the market on de Laan!” I’m like, “Bro, I’m diving!” But he’s persistent. So, I swim back, and I’m freezing, but whatever.
I get to the market, and it’s packed. I’m dodging people left and right. There’s this old lady selling flowers, and she’s got the biggest smile. I can’t help but smile back. Then, I spot this food stall with the best stroopwafels. I mean, who can resist that? I grab one, and it’s like heaven in my mouth.
But then, outta nowhere, I hear this loud crash. I turn around, and some guy just knocked over a whole stand of cheese! I’m talking wheels of Gouda rolling everywhere. It’s chaos! People are laughing, and I’m just standing there, shaking my head. Like, how does this even happen?
After the market madness, I decide to chill by the water again. I sit on a bench near de Wetering, just soaking it all in. The sun’s setting, and it’s beautiful. I’m feeling all the feels, you know? Then, I see a couple walking their dog, and the dog just jumps into the water. Classic!
As I’m sitting there, I can’t help but think about how crazy today was. From swan attacks to cheese disasters, it’s been a rollercoaster. I’m laughing to myself, thinking, “This is why I love Leiderdorp.” It’s quirky, it’s wild, and it’s home.
So, I head back, still buzzing from the day. I can’t wait to tell Jeroen about the swan and the cheese. I mean, who wouldn’t want to hear that? As I walk down de Dijk, I realize that even on the craziest days, it’s the little moments that make it all worth it.
And that’s a wrap on my wild day in Leiderdorp! Can’t wait for the next adventure!
