De Spuishuis you were asking for stood infront of you when you walk to De Gevangenepoort you even pass it. It was on the point where De Noord and De Zuid Zijde Haven split, it was in the middle of it. Nice tour. Thank you for your visit here. Houdoe !
You were so close by Mc Donalds did you not mis it to go there ?
there are mcdonald’s all over the netherlands 😂
@@buncharted2 I live in Bergen op Zoom my self.
And I saw you missed some good locations you could better have shown also pitty you did not come when there was an evend.
Maybe you like to do this one over again and make a better revieuw maby in connection with a bit of history and a larger area
I'm just here for the dirty jokes 😂
As a manchild, same for me.
The channel should be named BunchartedXXX
Don't tell Buncharted this but I like you guys more! :P
A&M, how do you decide what videos go on which channel?
There is a famous Dutch song about Bergen op Zoom from when it was under siege by the Spanish in the 17th century. It is called "Merck toch hoe sterck". You can find it on youtube :)
OHMYGOSH. I would so take those temps right now. We’re in the 100s up here in NTX. 🥵
Edit: *upper 30s
Edit edit: Bugles and hummus - brilliant!
Nice. Since 3 months I work in Bergen op Zoom. It's fun you two where eating the Groffen koek in a place I can see from my office window. :)
And about the Gevangenenpoort; yes, the prisoners where indeed held inside that tower. I happened to have gotten a tour of the tower last week, and they showed us the rooms where the prisoners where held. It's really interesting.
Great vid to get to know Miche... I mean Bergen op Zoom! ;)
I live in Tholen, very near to Bergen op Zoom. Would've been awsome to bump in to you two!
Even in France at the Loire it’s only 18-20 degrees. From 24 June it’s getting better.
Damn...i live 15 to 20min from Bergen op Zoom...had i know you'd be there , i would 've come by to say hello
It's funy to se you people in Bergen op Zoom. I don't live that far away from it and i know all the places you visited including the Turkish Doner place. I used to eat during my brake miday back in the days when i worked in Bergen op Zoom.
I was a bit disappointed in BOZ when I took the Car park next to the Jumbo. The stairway was some homeless habitat, full of dirt on the stairs. Further an OK, town.
Hope you had a lovely day in my home town. It’s funny to see it from your perspective. There are so many other things that are worth doing here. If you plan on visiting another time, I’d love to give some advice.
Love. Visit Hellevoetsluis. My town. August. Vestingdagen.
hahaha super leuk , ik woon in het centrum van bergen op zoom. jammer dat ik jullie gemist heb! zijn hele leuke plekjes te vinden waar je ontzetend goed kan eten. Daar staat bergen op zoom om bekent. en wist je dat onze kerk de bijnaam de pepperbus heeft en hij met vastenavond(carnaval) wordt aangekleed en kan praten hahaha
you made a great choice this is my home town if id knew you would go there id givven you some tips cus there are loads of hidden gems in bergen op zoom
uhm yeah, spiders are definately animals😂😅
prove it
@@buncharted2 they are multicellular organisms that eat organic material, breathe oxygen, they move and reproduce sexually.
A very nice swimsuit... Love the polkadots ! 😜🤣
I like this video, but I’m very triggered by the fact that you said a spider is not an animal?! If it’s not an animal then what is it? An alien? A object? 🤣
an insect? haha i don’t know 😂
@@buncharted2
Fun fact. A spider is not an insect. It is part of the animal kingdom, but not a mammal obviously or even an insect. Spiders are in the arachnida class, all arachnida have 8 legs, all insects have 6. Well, unless they lost a leg in a fight or something.
Won't blame you if you forget this immediately, it's not the most usefull information.😂
@@dasja9966 True. Fun fact, a scorpion is also an arachnid and closer related to spiders then lobsters.
wow you have 2 channels... nice
Huh! So surprised you came here! :D
Do you like yourself? Such a direct question! Even for Dutchies, that one is....heavy lol
😂😂😂
Bergen in noord holland is ook erg leuk. En ook bij de zee
I lived in Halsteren for 10 years and very frequently visited Bergen op Zoom. And the one thing that we always did, was go and eat an icecream at Crusio's. It used to be two separate parlours, both in the Wouwsestraat with one being at one end (towards the trainstation) and the other one near the Grote Markt.
But now it's just the one near the Grote Markt. But they have the most amazing Italian icecream I've ever tasted!!
On another note: if you like a bit of historic buildings, you should visit my hometown Zierikzee sometime. It's fully packed with history. It's a small city but you can combine it with a day at the Oosterschelde National Park.
Zierikzee is a bit difficult to reach by public transport since it has no train station. By train, you can come as far as Goes and take a 30 min bustrip to Zierikzee.
Crusio actually also opened a shop on the boulevard (but on the other side of the beach boulevard that Buncharted was at)
And there a small Crusio shop next to the AH XL in the shopping centre "De Zeeland"
@@MarceldeJong ah, didn't know that. In my defense, it's been nearly 20 years since I lived in Halsteren so I'm guessing some things have changed 😉
Closest train station to my Dutch childhood home.
OK can I weigh in in the discussion about bunjee jumping versus sky diving? I went for bunjee jumping and my brother (in a separate occassion ) went for a first course sky diving. I watched his experiences and those of his class mates. The objective is to do 8 jumps from a plane (Over Texel) to get an first certificate. All were first time jumpers. The venue is a HUGE grass flat area with only a few structures like the club building , some slootjes (ditches) and 1 tree. You get in this first course automatic parachute opening and those are the round parachutes. I have seen people land in the tree, into ditches, into the bike stand of the club house, slamming into the roof of the club house ... to be short a LOT went wrong just because people short circuit hanging there..
I went bunjee jumping from the bridge over the Zambesi river on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia near Victoria Falls. Its 125 m down. (410 feet ) and it was a thrill to never forget.. and to never do it again. The fear is not in the fall. It is not in the swinging up and down. It is when the movement is still and you wait for minutes to get someone to take you up to the bridge again. You WILL start to doubt if the towels around your feet are still tight. And the ropes around the towels and all the elastics. You hang for a solid few minutes upside down halfway between the bridge and the raging river. WOW !! Bergen op zoom is a cute town! I worked in Roosendaal for a few good years. Did you know this seemingly quiet area in Brabant has some of the most prominent synthetic drugs labs in Europe? They found in a close by village containers that were fitted to torture competitive criminals ? Very Mexico kartel stuff!
Ferry Bouman is real... I KNEW it. 😅
Its my home town
The center lane of that parking used to be water, it's been filled in as you mentioned. 't Spuihuis is a restaurant at the other end of that parking. You probably figured all of this out already, since you seemed to be walking in the right direction to find 't Spuihuis :)
haha yes we did figure it out but only after we got home, unfortunately 😅
@@buncharted2 Better luck next time :) By the way, if I may suggest something, have you heard of fortified town Willemstad? (not the one on Curaçao) It's actually quite close to Dordrecht. A beautiful place and good restaurants also 😄 You might want to check it out if you weren't already aware of it.
Well, that's always better than falafel in your shoes and sand in your mouth. 😂
😂😂😂😂
Just travel a little further west and do Middelburg and the Dishoek beach in the summer ;-). Welcome to Zeeland. Bergen op Zoom is lovely though.
we've visited middelburg before on our main channel!
more zeeland coming soon :)
@@buncharted2 ahhh gonna look for that video ;-)
You're kidding me, right?! That's where I live! You were here and I missed out on meeting you?!
The tower of the church you were outside of, gets dressed up every year with carnival, and even gets to talk during the children's theatre play that's performed on that main square.
Het Spuihuis (the restaurant) was on the other side of the "plaza" you were at. Like all way on the other side of the parking lot.
And yes public transport in Bergen op Zoom sucks. Especially on the weekend
Great grooving music too! Thanks to you guys I've discovered a new artist, yay! Thank you! 🎵🤗🎉
I love uitjes met frikandel
wij ook 😄
Yeah as we in the netherlads say "het is kut weer" "en een klote zomer" this summer until now completely sucks
Love the pocket 3 work! Looks really nice. Much love to you guys!
thanks! i’ve really warmed up to it (partially out of necessity since my x-h2 is being repaired…)
If you can't find something just ask a local. Don't be embarrassed. Most people want to help.
When will you visit Hindeloopen (Friesland)? It is wonderful on a sunny day
Top video again, I was in military training in the barracks in Bergen op Zoom in 1979, a very beautiful city
Bergen! Daar heb ik nog 2,5 jaar stage gelopen in de bibliotheek :D
Coming Saturday there is an event in oud Beijerland called the spuidagen. Make sure you get a lunch at "het oude postkantoor" enjoy, see you there.
You did a terrific job channeling the summer! ❤😂
Hey! My hometown! Glad you liked it.
What else you can do on a private jet, you can also do on the island.
Liken yourself is the first step to happiness 🎉
Have you guys ever tried a koffiebroodje? It is a braided pastry with raisons and partly coated with sugar. They’re delicious!
only from bakker bart (in our bakker bart vid) but it was sooooo good, need to get one from a proper bakery
Who says you cant fck on a normal plane, I mean it maybe a little weirder but the mile high club has quite some members I suppose
plane bathrooms are small and disgusting 😂
Again, love the video 😊
Seems worth checking out. The only thing I knew about Bergen op Zoom was the Safari park, Beekse Bergen.
but thats in hilvarenbeek not in Bergen op zoom
@@user-qd2ct1ue4v oh, bad memory 😎
You should have come and knocked on my door, lived in Bergen op Zoom for the last 8 years. Maybe you walked past my house.
do you like it there? we added it to our home search city list
@buncharted2 We are probably going to sell next year and move back to Goes as my wife spent most of her life there. I'm not Dutch but an Aussie with dual Australian and English nationality but I have also lived in the US in WA.
😊😊
