Sinterklass boat parade 20131117

Sinterklass (or Santa Clause or St. Nicolas) is a widely loved character in Nederland. There's more read on http://www.iamsterdam.com/en-GB/experience/what-to-do/whats-on/event-guide/december/holiday-season-in-amsterdam/Sinterklaas

They have an annual Sinterklass parade, starting with a boat parade on Amstel then a horse parade in Centrum. Here are some pictures we took at this year's boat parade. There's also a short video at the bottom.
