Petje af voor deze Zeeuwse ontdekkingsreizigers. Hebben ze weer een Romeinse stad blootgelegd. Maar die van de Arc de Triomf mag je nog even iets duidelijker uitleggen. Want van dat spiegelbeeld mis ik de kloe. En welke bruut gaat er nu met zijn reet op Lieske zitten. De Romeinen zouden er wel raad mee weten 😡😡😡
Hello, can I know what you mean by saying "De Romeinen zouden er wel raad mee weten "
Sure. I wrote this as a kind of Joke. Somebody damaged the car which is carefully restaurated. That hurts as it took a very long time to do that. In the past the Romans punished bad people very hard. Nowerdays this is no practice anymore. So it is just a kind of Joke because Loek is a great fan of the Roman culture and buildings.
ПутешественникSometimes small jokes happen big pain, I agree with you that such behavior is totally unacceptable, but I am sure that it occurs anywhere in the world, and that the one who caused this harm is one person, but whoever helped him in his journey a lot and I Sure, he knows this well and you are, because you are following all the previous events. We differ in opinions, but we are not enemies. You are welcome in Algeria at any time.
