| A bunch of cavemen. |
These newlywed kids started to party before the parade. |
Traffic was suspenden in the main streets for the parade. |
The weather was not at its best, but neither at its worst. |

| Everybody keeps moving on. |
And on... |
There were all kinds of costumes. |
Maastricht is also a very nice city. |

|
|
|
| People all over the Netherlands come to watch the parade. |
Some lost martians check the map for the route. |
The first of many times we saw the KinderKopkjes float. |
They were a large group of Aladdin-wannabes. |

|
| People were costumes even if only to watch the parade. |
Kids enjoy the carnival the most! |
