Description
200 years ago, 30 nov. 1813, the Tirany of the French ended. The Dutch Prince of Orange came to my city by boat and the French were kicked out. He would become King in 1815. We celebrate this in the years 2013-2015.
As we know Napoleon himself later stated he would have won Waterloo, if the son of King Willem I (later King Willem II of Orange) had hot have been there. The Lion-statue of the Oranges is still at Waterloo).
People of Belgium (Flamish) had come to my city this morning too, as they had the same King (Willem I) in 1815.
I had an "Orange" breakfast boattour this morning, and as it rained from time to time, only the mobile Phone camera.
