Janny van der Heijden

In Denkend aan Holland, Janny van der Heijden and André van Duin discover our beautiful Netherlands from the water. In each episode, they go out with their boat. Of course, Janny and André moor every now and then to visit the places where the water takes them. Janny can tell André all about both the cultural and culinary history of the various locations. And all of this in the company of ship's dog Nhaan, Janny's dachshund.

Sinterklaas plans to celebrate his birthday lavishly. This year, he's coming to the Netherlands for the hundredth time, and that's reason for a big party. He wants every child in the Netherlands to receive an extra present this year. At the same time, the Pieten (Black Petes) plan to surprise Sinterklaas with a big party, culminating in a special performance by one of the Netherlands' most famous artists. Robbie Reuzel, whose birthday is also on December 5th, hears about Sinterklaas's grand plans and becomes furious. After all, it's not the first time his birthday has been ruined by Pakjesavond (Santa's Eve). He devises a plan to outwit Sinterklaas, taking advantage of his witty neighbor, among other things. Will Robbie Reuzel succeed in thwarting Pakjesavond, or will the Pieten smell a rat and save the Sinterklaas celebration?
