Today was relaxing day, with a slow start.
Although cold (only 7 degrees Celsius) the sun was shining most of the time so we went for a walk through the old town. You can also walk atop the fortifications, which was quite a pleasant walk with lots of things to see. Most of the fortifications you can still enter are more recent, stemming from either the 18th century to keep out the English or remnants from World War II.
The old architecture and fortifications are very well preserved, in fact it all looked brand new in stead of 400 years old. Willemstad must be the most well kept and groomed city in the Netherlands. There even was a museum, but we didn’t feel like visiting so we passed on that one.
Because the winds were not too strong we could fly the drone. Hopefully we’ll be able to get some good footage of the star shaped fortified city.
We made ourselves a delicious paella for dinner and started planning our next trip. Tomorrow we’re going to leave for Middelharnis.
