Lost in Translation: Tweede Helmersstraat.
Fifty Euros and a hunk of Gouda to anyone who can tell me what this means.

Yippee, you posted! Am missing you already!
My translation: Children's Playground. Also, dogs poop here.
Words and picture go together: "Rather not where we play. Children's Play Place." Picture shows 'no pets pooping'. So "No pets pooping where we play".
Forget the Euros and cheese... I want something sinfully chocolate!!
No jumproping or playing soccer near a pooping goat or you will split your kinderpants.
So... who was right? I truly love -r-'s translation. Makes more sense to me!
OK, must admit, it was SFG who had the most creative answer:
"Numerous technicolor monkeys can be seen
playing sports and pooping on the ground. Come join the fun!"
