Lovely! Thank you for making the video... the scenery reminds me of the time I once spent in Volendam. The soundtrack to your video is perfect, sort of "Masterpiece Theatre-ish." What is it, if I may ask?

Nice that you like it. Iโ€™m traveling now so a bit complicated to look up the music. I will let you know once I find it in the next few days

Don't go to any trouble. I thought you might know the music off the top of your mind. Take good care!

Alex, thank you for sharing the refreshing historical beauty and calm of Zierikzee, a reassuring reminder that life continues amidst the chaos elsewhereโ€ฆa reminder to pause, breath deeply with gratitude for all I have, we all have. Have a lovely weekend โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ’™

I love market day! No idea why everybody wants to go to Amsterdam Iโ€™m sure itโ€™s nice, but those gems of smaller towns youโ€™ve been sharing โ€“ Iโ€™d much prefer those, Iโ€™m sure. Iโ€™m bookmarking โ€œmooistedorpjesโ€!

I have a direct train to Amsterdam. I think I might hop out in Utrecht, or it looks like it stops in sโ€™Hertogenbosch as well. And they have re-introduced the night train. Thatโ€™s excellent news.

โ€œPoortsโ€ are some of my favorite tourist attractions wherever I go. And wow on the history of Zierikzee once again. Fascinating!

That first picture โ€“ the symmetry, the shapes, the colors, that cyclist right in the middle. I love everything about it. Same goes for the video. Youโ€™re a great Zeeland ambassador! De Zeeuwse Hemel looks like the perfect place to end an afternoon of shopping.

Thank you for sharing.

P.S.: I remember that post from 1 year ago โ€“ and to think that some peopleโ€™s claims and ideas have gotten even crazier.

Both Utrecht and โ€˜s Hertogenbosch are worth a visit. I left the island this morning but will be back there later this summer. So expect a bit more histyof the islands in this newsletter

Can't believe I misspelled 's Hertogenbosch - all I had to do is copy it from the train timetable. I think I need some coffee. Looking forward to more island history.

Thanks Lizzie. I always enjoy going a year back in time and it is fun to do that with my own newsletters. I had completely forgotten about that article.
