Domburg

The boys don’t have much school during the month of May, so we took a short holiday to Domburg, a village further south along the Dutch coast in the watery province of Zeeland.   First we took the train to Middelburg.   The whole town was decorated with bright pink flags and balloons and people were pouring in by train and by bicycle for the second etape of the Giro d’Italia bike race.  There was even a mural made out of uncooked pasta!

We thought it was great fun until we discovered that all the buses going in the direction of our hotel were stopped until 8pm.  Daddy made friends with the woman at the bike rental shop, who called her nephew, who took us to Domburg in his car.   We got there 10 minutes after the bicyclists passed through and early enough for a walk on the beach after dinner.

We stayed at the Pancake House and Hotel in Domburg.  The Dutch – and the boys – love pancakes.
