230. Europe Bicycle Trip--Hot and Windy=Ice Cream

After I crossed the Zuid-Zeeland Canal I went south a little to the Voorhaven where the canal meets the Westerschelde (Sea) before turning west into the wind and toward Middleburg.

Flags at the Voorhaven

It is so nice to bicycle along the sea!

This windmill is a "Vestas".

I stopped and had my lunch at a little shelter with a bench. It was turning into a warm day.

Finally, I had to turn inland toward Middleburg.passing some more orchards.

's-Gravenpolder is 20 km east of Middleburg and has a population of 4089.

Past the village was a knooppunt sign for 77 below the cute train symbol marking a train track crossing.

The warehouses of a fruit farm

Before the next village of Nisse I came to this "Kaasboerdery" (Cheese Farm)

They also sold ice cream and since it was so hot, I decided to have a treat.

Yummy!

Continuing west, I came to 's-Heerenhoek which is 12 km. east of Middleburg and has 1335 villagers.

As I bicycled past Quarleshaven, I could see many cranes.
