Vlissingen or Flushing?

We stayed overnight in Vlissingen, or Flushing, depending on whom you ask. Apparently it's hard for English-speakers to say Vlissingen, so they changed the name to Flushing. I don't understand because I don't have any problem with "Vlissingen." We picked a hotel on the boulevard, which is a main street on the water where you can see ships and boats coming into the Netherlands and going to Belgium. The first night we stayed in and watched out the window.

In the morning we walked along the boulevard to the school where Remko did his nautical training.

Then we toured the rest of the town. Here's where the pilot boats stop between guiding ships in. The fancy yellow one is the Dutch boat and the old navy one is the Beligan boat.

Here's the boulevard.


And here are some pretty house pictures I took. :)
