Heiligerlee - part 3

All the troops were gathering.


And the battle began.
The Dutch even had horses!


The Dutch advance.
There were cannons and muskets. The smoke of those obscured the battlefield.


The Spaniards were returning fire.


As the fighting continued this woman ran past. I think she was a battle nurse.


It was a really cool battle with lots of skirmishes.


The horses were very brave. They didn't seem to mind all the smoke and fighting.


The Spaniards kept on firing cannons.


But the Dutch won ground and after a tense battle they defeated the Spaniards! The roasted pig had been avenged!


After the battle the troops walked through the encampment and we took some more pictures.








We made a final round of the market and talked with this woman who could make book covers out of fish-skin. Very cool!




She had a comfy bed in her tent. I wouldn't mind camping with a bed like that.


Then it was time for something to eat!



French fries. Yum!


What an awesome day.
