Wednesday 29 June - Hanging out in Holland

Sunset in Vlissingen

The Sun which had set so beautifully rose again, bright and warm, and found us well rested and relaxed in the scenic backwater of VVW Schelde, just yards away from the first major lifting bridge of the Walcheren canal. It was a slow morning - breakfast on board in the cockpit, coffees at the clubhouse, re-arranging the boat, sorting out internet, catching up on emails, and generally relaxing in the sunshine until an al-fresco lunch again on board.

Then after the obligatory short snooze, it was off on foot for the 30-minute stroll into town. We checked out the more central "Arsenaal" marina, to which we may return on the boat, and explored some of the sights, stopping for refreshments and some supplies before returning. More relaxing, dinner on board, cocktails at the bar, a couple of hands of cards, admiring another lovely sunset, and settle down for the night. Where would you get it?
