Hartelijk bedankt aan de serveuze die onze rugzak naar de tramhalte bracht nadat we die vergeten waren.

Mensen spreken over bruine kroegen. Ok, op welke manier interpreteer je dit? Ik vertoef al enkele jaren in de buurt van nieuwpoort. Als je sfeer van het echt zeetje wil beleven... is dit wel een aanrader. Volks café in alle betekenissen van het woord. Geen gezever. Enige wat hier mist.. zijn asbakken en sigarettenrook. Dit is een toevoeging.. locals vragen zelfs om mee te picken. Ok je moet er voor zijn. Naar verluidt.. niet bevestigd, oudste café van Nieuwpoort.
