ITEM: Hat
NOTES: Six pointed high hat (top hat?) in the Dutch colours and with bells attahed to the peaks. I strongly suspect this isn’t a traditional hat but knowing some of the Dutch people I know nothing would surprise me. Perhaps, more likely, it’s a Dutch hat to be worn when following the nation football (soccer) team? If that is the case you don’t want to be sitting behind the wearer at the game!

ITEM: Cap
NOTES: A vivid colourful cap depicting a vivid colourful area. Canaima National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Canaima) in south-eastern Venezuela is a beautiful, stunningly diverse, gigantic (30,000 km²) national park (the sixth largest in the world). The park is home to indigenous Pemon Indians, part of the Carib linguistic group. The park is relatively remote, with only a few roads connecting towns. Most transport within the park is done by light plane from the airstrips built by various Capuchin missions, or by foot and canoe. Pemons have developed some basic and luxurious camps, which are mainly visited by tourists from across the world.
