Another lovely day although we were warned of the possibility of some rain later in the day. We set off fairly early and were sad to leave Noordwijk where we had thoroughly enjoyed three days.
The busy section round Den Haag and Rotterdam was successfully negotiated and we were soon off the motorways and entering Zeeland for the first time. What a revelation! Wildfowl were everywhere as we drove along between dikes, meres and inlets of the north sea. After the promised (very heavy) rain cloud had passed out came the sun again and temperatures soared. We stopped in a delightful town of Zieriksee for a coffee and it was just lovely
We drove on over the most incredible bridges/dams to arrive at our overnight destination of Middleburg. As anticipated, our room was not ready so again the bikes were unleashed and we cycled along the canal to Vlissingen which was great.
On our way back we cycled through the centre of Middleburg and wow what a lovely town! In many way it is a mini Bruges with some glorious squares and regal buildings
Back to our hotel and we checked in to a very nice room with all mod cons. After catching up with some emails etc we walked into town for dinner which was partaken at de Huifkar in the beautiful Markt square with a warm sun slowly setting over the magnificent buildings - perfect!
