Holiday

Last week we were on holiday on the most beautiful (and biggest) island of The Netherlands: Texel.

Jelle loves Texel because there is not much light pollution. He introduced one of his hobbies to his niece and nephew: stargazing.🔭

He showed them the Andromeda galaxy. 🌌 🤩

Jelle and Dion went back to proceed the final stage of The Marbula One production. But we had a great week!

We hope you had a great holiday as well! And if you’re still on holiday we hope ...

This horrific injury was featured #1 in Jelle Bakker’s YouTube video, "Marble League 2017 Top 10 Video Highlights". In 2021, it was announced that Mom...
