AMSTERDAM –
Today in the Telegraph on Sunday: The Dutch tourists try to make the best of Barcelona, and the self-employed without staff (zzp’ers) have at all no time for holidays.
Peter is sweaty and sits under the wood chips. He stares to the outside. Upon hearing his name freezes him. ,,Come, mother,” he says with a whispered voice. ,,I have the food ready for you.”
“Appropriately enjoy’
In Barcelona, at this moment, a lot of tourists on holiday. Also The Dutch. That after the attacks the best of it. “People in our Airbnb-complex were in shock. Some had the attack gone through,” says Tamara Veenstra from Groningen.
It feels strange to celebrate your holidays in a grief-stricken city? ,,Yes,” says Tamara hesitantly. ,,Then We have to, but due to enjoy, I think. We are here six days, it would be a shame if we couldn’t do anything. But a real party atmosphere, it is of course not. We hear that some clubs are closed because there are three days of mourning. Here it is really different than normal.”
