We find a lovely quiet spot for our first vanlife night in the Netherlands. In the morning we drive to the nearby town of Zierikzee. It's a wonderful town and well worth a visit. We get Doris our Drone up for a few aerial shots.

zierikzee
Havenstad Zierikzee heeft een rijke historie en meer dan vijfhonderd monumenten in en rond de stad. Zierikzee had al in het begin van de 15e eeuw een belangwekkend silhouet met muren, poorten, kerken, toren en molens. Veel daarvan is nu nog te zien.
In 1248 werd Zierikzee stadsrechten toegekend. De stad was aan het eind van de Middeleeuwen een strategisch belangrijke plaats in Zeeland. Tussen 1414 en 1576 legden verschillende stadsbranden de stad deels of helemaal in de as. Hoog boven Zierikzee steekt De Dikke Toren uit. De Sint-Lievensmonstertoren, die je met 279 treden naar boven brengt, geeft een mooi uitzicht over Zierikzee, de Zeelandbrug en het eiland. De middeleeuwse bouwers wilden een toren van 200 meter bouwen maar door de economische achteruitgang van Zierikzee stokte de bouw op 62 meter. Om Zierikzee vanuit de haven te beschermen werden er in de 14e eeuw twee grote stadspoorten gebouwd. De Zuidhavenpoort en de Noordhavenpoort. In de nabijgelegen Nieuwe Haven liggen authentieke boten en schepen. Tegenover de poorten ligt de Oude Haven en zijn historische panden. Over het water van de oude haven tussen de Zuid en Noordhavenpoort vind je een dubbele ophaalbrug. Vanaf de brug heb je een mooi uitzicht over het water van de haven.
The Legendary Dutch Mermaid Of Edam, Netherlands | Travel Vlog
Muziekgroep WaterWijs heeft de Sage: ' De Zeemeermin van Edam' op muziek gezet en onlangs is dit lied verfilmd
This Vlog is about my stay at Edam, The Netherlands and my discovery about the legend of the mermaid of Edam. I will bring you around to discover the whole Edam village as well as some of the attraction spot.
==== The Legendary Dutch Mermaid Of Edam, Netherlands ====
Mermaid of Edam
The Mermaid of Edam is a legend about a mermaid, who would be imprisoned in the former Purmer Lake.
A mermaid lived in the former Zuiderzee. In case of a flood she was transported to Purmermeer. After the dikes were closed, she could no longer find the way back to the sea. She was discovered by the inhabitants of this region, who caught her and carried them to Edam. There she was washed and stripped of the green algae. She was also taught to live as a person. The stories about her went around and residents of Haarlem found her so interesting that they took her to Haarlem and taught her how to spin.
Despite her longing for the sea she continued to live on land and died after many years in Haarlem, where she was buried in the cemetery as a Christian man.
---- Dutch Version ------
Meermin van Edam
De Meermin van Edam is een sage over een zeemeermin, die gevangen zou zijn in het vroegere Purmermeer.
Van het verhaal doen meerdere versies de ronde. De kern van deze verhalen is hetzelfde. Er leefde een zeemeermin in de vroegere Zuiderzee. Bij een overstroming werd zij meegevoerd naar het Purmermeer. Nadat de dijken weer gedicht waren kon zij de weg terug naar de zee niet meer vinden. Ze werd ontdekt door de bewoners van deze streek, die haar vingen en meevoerden naar Edam. Daar werd ze gewassen en ontdaan van het groene wier. Ook werd haar geleerd als een mens te leven. De verhalen over haar gingen rond en bewoners van Haarlem vonden haar zo interessant, dat ze haar meenamen naar Haarlem en haar leerden spinnen. Ondanks haar verlangen naar zee bleef zij op het land wonen en stierf na vele jaren in Haarlem, waar ze werd begraven op het kerkhof als een christenmens.

Hidden Gem of The Netherlands, Kalenberg - Travel Netherlands
A boating tour of Kalenberg, a small town near Giethoorn.
In The Netherlands, in the province of Overijssel, is a little town called Kalenberg. It is a hidden gem as only locals know about this place. Kalenberg is located next to the town of Giethoorn (Venice of The Netherlands) which has gained fame not too long ago. If you prefer a quieter place we can recommend Kalenberg.
Kalenberg is located in De Weerribben-Wieden National Park. This National Park is a combination of two areas, called De Weerribben and De Wieden. It covers a complete area of roughly 100 square kilometres. The park was founded in 1882 and was called De Weerribben, but in 2009 De Wieden were added. The park is used for the production of reed, which is used to make thatch roofs on farms, fences and other things. The National Park is managed by the large private nature-conservation organisation Natuurmonumenten and by the Staatsbosbeheer (State Forest Service).
One of the many places you can go to is:
Cafe/Restaurant 'Het Doevehuis'
Kalenberg-Zuid 1
8377 HE Kalenberg

THE NETHERLANDS IS MORE THAN JUST AMSTERDAM
Tried cycling on an electric bike for the first time, and we somehow ended in Kasteel De Haar, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful castles in the Netherlands!

The Netherlands: Beyond Amsterdam
After Norway, Ryan and I headed down to the land of the Dutch! We visited several cities across a 2 week span. It was highly enjoyable and we would love to visit again!
Middelburg in 48 hours | City Guide | Zeeland in the Netherlands | Holland | TravelGretl
We travel to Middelburg, capitol of Zeeland in the Netherlands. Or Holland if you'd like ;)
Visiting the Lange Jan (Long John!), the Zeeuws Museum, Restaurant Scherp, the Delta Works and more :D A city guide

--------------------------------------
Places we visited:
Hotel: We stayed at Hotel the Roosenvelt.
We have been climbing the Lange Jan, ate at restaurant Scherp, and walked the 'kunst en cultuurroute' Middelburg. We've seen quite a few galeries in town!
We took lunch at the Kloveniersdoelen and went to the Zeeuws Museum.
--------------------------------------
Middleburg was built in the 9th century, as the middle of three strongholds. To protect the people from the plundering Vikings. And it still has a strong historic character nowadays.
If you walk through the small streets, surrounded by buildings like this, you might not realize it, but this city was hit hard during the second world war. Though the bombing of Rotterdam is more famous, both cities kind of looked like THIS, after the Nazi's visited.
But Middleburg did an amazing job rebuilding her beautiful historic highlights.
The Abbey for example, once the centre of a large monastic complex. It will provide you with some peace and quiet moments right in the center of town.
The impressive town hall is right on the market square, built in a beautiful gothic style. Look at all the details they created! It was voted as the second most beautiful building in the Netherlands a few years ago, and I can see why you'd love it.
And if you ever get lost in the little streets of the city center, you only have to look up for long John! Or Lange Jan, as we call him in Dutch. He's a tall friend you'll see from almost every part of the city center. Not just beautiful from the outside, but also to be enjoyed from within!
Well we have to go down to experience this city in a totally different way! Because Middelburg is also a very artistic place. They say there are even more galeries than cafees in town. And every first Sunday of the month, the artists just let you catch a glimpse of their art and workspace. Look for this flag on any building, and you're invited to enter!
An other cool thing happened in the middle of our art tour. We came across this little house here, and the owner just invited us in. Well guess what! He showed us the old fashioned kitchen under his house. It's not a museum or anything, just a private collection.
I love little discoveries and friendly moments like this one!
These tapestries are telling the story of Zeeland’s great sea battles against the Spanish at the beginning of the Eighty Years’ War. The Spanish fleet was much mighier, but the locals had the advantage of knowing the area. It's funny to see the propaganda in the scenes, but it also gives a good insight of a war at sea near the end of the 16th century. It's made and preserved very well.
Our weekend of Middelburg is almost over, but before we go home, I must show you the sea!
The Dutch are famous for conquering the water, and a big part of that is the Delta works.
It's built in the river delta to protect the land from the sea. Aaand...... there it is!
Well I am glad I'm all dry again. Only thing left to say is.....
