Middleburg, Zeeland, Netherlands


We toured Middleburg today. It began it's life as a fortification against the Vikings.
This is another harbor town that was also bombed pretty badly during WWII. Many houses were rebuilt but many of it's historical houses were left intact.


Here is a twentieth century picture. We occasionally see kids riding double. This is the first time I've seen one of the kids texting as they go along. She's co-ordinated and talented.


We stopped into a little store on the town square and saw these rows of cheese wheels. Unfortunately we didn't have time to really browse. Sometimes these tour guides are a little like Nazis herding their group along. I guess if everyone was like us (disobedient) then she wouldn't have gotten us to our bus on time.

You guys are totally the ones not towing the line with your group ... I can just see it!

That cheese looked yummy!
