Friday the 13th and we moved south around Rotterdam and through the Benelux tunnel and huge Europort area to the Zeeland region of the Netherlands. This collection of islands suffered a disasterous flood in 1953 and as a result a flood barrier was constructed linking the islands to the mainland. This created a number of inland seas, or Meres and is very popular for sun, sand and water sports.
We drove all the way down the A57 and over a massive sea lock separating the Oosterschelde from the North sea. Mike and I had sailed through the lock a few years ago on a 37ft yacht whilst we doing the RYA day skipper sailing course.
We stopped a while near the canal from Middleburg in the picturesque village of Veere, on Veerse Mere, for coffee and more appletart before choosing a site on the coast for the weekend.
