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.....

Places we visited.
Hotel: We stayed at Hotel Central, beautiful old building on the market square. Good room, friendly people and amazing breakfast!
Sweets:
Tum Tum Old Dutch Candystore - my favorite since I was a little kid
Zammateo - where you get some of the best Italian icecream you ever tasted
Bossche Bol - Jan de Groot. Duh, he is famous! The sweets in his shop seriously sell out, sometimes you have to order them. But they got them on many terraces.
Going for lunch: Korte Putstraat. Cute little street, also great at night!
St. Janskathedraal - amazing by day and beautiful by night.
NOTE 2016 is the year of Jeroen Bosch (Jeroen Boschjaar) since he died 500 years ago. Some special events are happening this period :)

CAMERA equipment I use
**Canon Powershot N100 – (affiliate)
A budget option I loved very much for my first year of travel vlogging.
** Sony RX100 mk4 – (affiliate)
Oh my, how I love this new camera! Use this one from the Batanes series (Philippines II) onwards.

I mainly use this camera for under water shots. Love the little screen at the back so your shots will not be a surprise till you're at your computer

Bergen op Zoom Netherlands Part 1
Part 1
Are you traveling to the Netherlands for your next holiday? Make sure you visit the beautiful city of Bergen op Zoom in North Brabant.
The city was built on a place where two types of soil meet: sandy soil and marine clay. The sandy soil pushed against the marine clay, accumulating and forming hills over several centuries. People called those hills the Brabantse Wal, literally meaning wall of Brabant. Zoom refers to the border of this wall and bergen in Dutch means mountains or hills. The name has nothing to do with the little channel the ‘Zoom’ which was later built through Bergen op Zoom.

Bergen op Zoom can call itself the greenest city in Europe. The Brabant town won in Bristol (England) gold at the annual European green competition Entente Florale.
The international jury, made up of specialists from the ten participating countries, was impressed by the way Bergen op Zoom presented with the theme of green alliance between past and present, the municipality indicated Friday.
The Netherlands are often in league prizes. So took Amstelveen and Weert also sometimes gold.
Bergen op Zoom entered the contest because the city was last year named the greenest of the Netherlands.
