Mizzle, drizzle and rain in Marvelous Middelburg
... a Moat type canal surrounding it but this is unlike any we have seen! for it is a jagged shape which made it more defensible in some ways, but at the time of building it was essential for how do you defend an important city in a flat landscape, over the years Middelburg has had good times and bad times but it has come through all to present itself as a great place to spend some time.
