We're due to depart Falkenberg early in the morning tomorrow, so I don't have much time to write if I want to get some sleep. I'll make this short and sweet...
The main reason for wanting to visit Falkenberg is because one of my favorite movies from recent years, titled "Falkenberg Farewell" was filmed here. It's an incredible film that, in my opinion, all men in their twenties and thirties should see. It's about growing up in a small town and not knowing what it is you want to become or do with your life, yet so much more than a slacker movie. Every time I watch it I am affected in a profound manner. We visited the tourist office and they gave us a map of some of the locations that the film used. While a handful were not in Falkenberg proper and seemingly very difficult to find, many were close to our hotel or in the old town. I've included those photos tonight. Being in some of those locations was actually quite moving. The film is not available on DVD in the states, but if you have an all-region player it is definitely worth buying on the internet. Or you can come over to my place and we'll watch it.
I'll post more on Falkenberg when I can.
Until later, friends...
